Everything Coworking

223. Author Mitch Gray on How to Find Great People Even When It Seems Like It’s Hard to Find Great People


Listen Later

Every time Mitch Gray spoke to a group or a new client, he heard "Our biggest business challenge is that t's really hard to find good people." He had discovered a simple approach to his own hiring practice that gave him a constant pipeline of good people. He decided to share this with others. On this episode, we talk about how to always be hiring, why Indeed may not be the best source for local talent, and how to sell our "why" to attract great candidates. Mitch is a member of coworking space Firehouse in Clovis, NM.

Mitch Gray, small business consultant and author of “How to Hire and Keep Great People” shares his insights around hiring and how to get out of the mindset that “it’s really hard to find good people right now.”

On this episode, we talk about:

  • How to shift your mindset so that you can find great people even if it seems like it’s hard to find great people.
  • Why you should “always be hiring” even if you’re not actually hiring. Why Indeed may not be your best source of candidates.
  • Why hiring for culture fit is often more important than hiring for skills. Why you need to know your company’s “why” and sell your “why” to potential candidates.
