Hiring

When hiring, I’m supposed to consider:

The new people should have the skills to do the tasks

Their strengths should complement what’s already in the company

I need to be able to assess their strengths

I need them to be able to work on their own

I’d like them to be a part of the team.

I should look for people who will fit in with the culture of my company

I need to understand the culture of my business

Staff will be the face of my business and can make or break success

I should consider people who are different than me so that I will have a well-rounded offering

But not too different or they will clash with my customers’ expectations and the other staff

And all this from a resume and an interview.

No pressure!
