368: What To Know BEFORE You Hire An Over-Qualified Person


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself hesitating to hire someone who seems overqualified for a role on your team? I know it can feel risky, but it can also be a huge win for your business. In this episode of the Stacking Your Team Podcast, I’m diving into the realities of hiring overqualified candidates. With more talented professionals seeking roles in small businesses, it’s more important than ever to weigh both the benefits, like faster onboarding, immediate results, and built-in mentorship, and the risks, such as potential boredom, disruption, or high turnover.

I’ll walk you through my practical checklist to help you get to the root of a candidate’s motivation during the interview process, set clear expectations from day one, and make sure you’re protecting your team's morale. If you’re leading a growing team and want to make smarter hiring decisions while building a high-performing team, this episode is just for you. Let’s dive in!
