Panagiota Hatzis Built The Hiring, Onboarding, & Tech SOPs For My Business


Listen Later

Panagiota Hatzis is an HR & team leadership professional, the founder of Kati Kalo consulting, and the former VP of Differentiation (a twist on HR) & partner at Common Thread Collective, where we used to be colleagues.

I had Panagiota on a couple months ago to talk through how to scale a team with operational intelligence. Which got me thinking: as I start to add employees, what if I used Panagiota sooner than later to help me build out the operational infrastructure of AJF Growth? Things like how we use our tech stack, what my interview process should look like, what needs to be in my handbook, and how I should onboard.

About two weeks into the month-long engagement, I was blown away. I quickly realized that hiring Panagiota as early in my process as I did was some of the best money I could possibly spend as I look towards the future of AJF Growth. So on this episode, I'm telling you why I came to that conclusion by bringing Panagiota back on the pod to show you everything she built for me.

Want to understand what makes for great system-building for your team? Watch and learn from Panagiota.
