Notable Quotes:

[00:03:29] “Not only is hiring the wrong person going to hurt your company culture, the person would basically be a bad apple, but it'll also cost you money and put them through hours of onboarding and training that you'll have to do.” [00:03:49]

[00:04:20] “If you pick the right people, you should be happy to train them because you're investing in your biggest asset, which is your personnel.” [00:04:30]

[00:04:57] “When you're dating, you're looking for someone who shares your values, your interests and your vision for the future. Right? You want someone who's going to make you feel comfortable, who you can trust, and who you can see building a life with. This is a.k.a building your business with. When you're interviewing a candidate for the job, you're looking for many of the same things.” [00:05:18]

[00:07:33] “If an interviewee has not taken the time to research the company or the role, it might be a sign that they're not fully committed to the position.” [00:07:40]
