When you're just starting out, growing and hiring people for your team can be a daunting task. But it's not impossible. As you grow and scale you need to be able to make smart decisions and make sound hiring moves in order to bring on the best people for your teams. A lot of small businesses struggle when it comes to hiring people for their team. There's a lot of sentiment that says, "hey, I can put an ad on Facebook or I can go to an indeed post or I can just put anything on social media saying, Hey, I'm hiring", and give some stipulations as far as applying for the position. But it's not that simple. A lot of people try to minimize the role of effective recruiting. Yes, we all need to hire the best talent. Yes, we want people that are going to be able to do the things that we need them to do at great prices. But as you grow, you have to be very mindful of how and who you hire. You have to look at your audience, your platform and your process, because it all matters. Today, I want to talk about the smart hiring decisions that you need to make in order to build out your team. But first ask yourself two questions. Am I making this job as appealing as I needed to be in order to hire the right people? And what does it take to be competitive in this market and be able to hire great talent?
