Why has our team started creating profiles for our ideal candidates the way we build our customer avatars for clients? Find out in this episode as I sit down with Celene, our Chief of Operations to discuss the challenges of hiring for a digital team.

Honestly, we’ve had a lot of challenges in hiring—specifically with our Admin role. We had to take a step back and ask ourselves “are we hiring for the right role?” 

Over the last couple of years, hiring a Virtual Assistant has been a revolving door while our strategists have been with us since day one. We decided to dig in and share some of the biggest barriers we’ve faced in hiring for our remote team, and how we overcame them by truly understanding the role we were hiring for so we could hire the right person.

Find out why we decided to go with a long job description (over 1500 words!), the importance of culture on hiring choices, and how we put proper screening processes in place to ensure we found the right, long-term person for our Admin role.

Tune in to learn how to:

  • Build job responsibilities based on problem solving and efficiency. 
  • Shift the language of your job posting to ensure you’re engaging the right candidates.
  • Engage your team in building a job description that will attract the right candidates.

Curious to how we ended up hiring the best Admin Manager EVER?
