One of the most challenging aspects of growing a successful business is hiring. Have you ever brought someone on board who looked great on paper but just didn't fit in with your team? This episode explores why hiring the right person goes beyond merely ticking off skill set boxes and why personality often trumps expertise.
I share some of my personal experiences, the importance of initiative, problem-solving abilities, and integrity, and how starting with short-term projects can save you a lot of headaches in the long run. We also discuss when you must prioritize skills over personality, particularly for expert roles, and provide practical tips on using test projects during the hiring process.
01:19 - Qualities you cannot teach to people
05:14 - When to prioritize skill set over personality
07:29 - Start with a test project
10:51 - Sometimes, we need to make exceptions
12:17 - What comes next after hiring someone?
