Have you ever met an incredible person while interviewing candidates for a job and thought to yourself… you’re not right for THIS position…but if I had a different role for you… I’d hire you on the spot! 

Today, I’m asking the question: can, or should, we ever hire a stellar candidate even if we don’t have a position for them to fill?

In today’s episode, we discuss: 

• What to do when you meet a qualified candidate that you don’t have a role for
• The perks of hiring quality talent year-round
• How hiring without a role can prevent capacity issues
• The importance of hiring for passion, purpose and proficiency 
• Why hiring without a role is a gamble…here is what to look out for

Here are other resources I mention:

• When to Take a Chance on an Imperfect Job Candidate by Rebecca Knight
• Enduring The Recession by the Gravy Team
