In this episode, Molly Beyer expands on the discussion regarding avatars from the last episode. While last time was an examination on how to build an avatar of the people we want to externally work with, this time, Molly explores building an avatar for hiring. Building an avatar of who we want to work directly with and for us. Having an avatar for hiring helps us focus on hiring the person to fit our workplace culture, and not just a person who fits an ideal job description. 

Knowing the vision, mission, and values of our business is so crucial for defining ourselves and our company. The vision and values direct every decision we make and directly feed into our workplace culture. So they should also be the foundation guiding who we hire. If culture comes first, we should be hiring for the operational culture of our business, and not simply a list of skills in a job description. Molly explains how to reflect and strategize in order to build the best avatar for hiring. 

As Molly points out, “Data doesn’t create a cohesive, high-functioning team. Personality, fit, and shared values do.” Hiring is more than just filling a role. It’s about building upon and expanding the culture of our business and protecting the vision we’ve set in place to guide that business. This episode explores the necessity of having an avatar built out of values and our mission to guide who is hired to join our teams. Join Molly and see how to align hiring practices with business culture instead of a list of job skills.
