Episode Description

The right team is the thing nearly every organization comes back to, whatever else they're working on. Funding, scale, board questions, they all run through the people in the seats.

And the way to get the right people is to hire well.

In this episode, Sarah shares four tips for better hiring, drawn from her own process and the work she does with the organizations she coaches.

In This Episode, You'll Learn

• Why building a list of people you'd love to work with before you ever have an opening, and how a name you noted years ago can become your next great hire

• How to write a job post that reads like a love letter to your ideal candidate instead of a dull list of requirements

• Why the job post title works like a headline, and how to study other postings to make yours stand out

• How a 90-day trial period protects both you and the new hire

Who This Episode Is For

• Leaders who want a stronger, more intentional hiring process • Anyone who has held onto a hire that wasn't the right fit longer than they meant to • Anyone who thinks this episode doesn't apply because they aren't hiring right now
