Why do you hire?
The simple answer is because you fired someone and you need to fill an opening, you created a new role, or because you need a new cohort for your entry-level program.
That’s how most people at most companies think of hiring.
But that’s the wrong way to look at hiring.
Actually, hiring is the single most important thing your company does.
Everything your company can achieve is the result of its hiring: innovation, new products, sales, branding, marketing, growth, culture, retention, morale, motivation, camaraderie, and more.
Start looking at hiring in a whole new way.
Hiring is about building the company.
Hiring is about creating the culture.
Hiring is about unleashing the future.
Lastly, the most significant point everyone seems to miss is this:
Hiring = Compounding
Every great hire raises the performance, collaboration, and culture of the company.
Every bad hire lowers performance, collaboration, culture and morale.
Raising the bar has a domino effect: as you raise the bar, people want to stay with the company, people want to perform better, people want to join, people want to make the company win, and so forth.
Einstein said Compounding the 8th wonder of the world.
Your Takeaway?
Put all the effort into making your Hiring produce the greatest hires that raise the bar for your company and trigger these invaluable domino effects.
