In today's episode of The Biz Doctor, Lauren Goldstein dives into a mistake she sees a lot of business owners with smaller teams make that is so easily avoidable.

Have you ever said one of the following:

• We need someone yesterday!
• We’ll figure it out when we get them hired!
• I know something is off in the business and I think if we hire xyz that should do the trick

Or something in this same vein?

If you answered yes to any of those questions you might unknowingly be making this mistake too!

But fear not, after this episode you will have a kick butt tool to ensure you never repeat this insanity again!

Specifically, Lauren explores a few key areas you need to clarify before you hire for the role:

• What will the new hire be accountable for?
• Who are they in their DNA? At their core and will this set them up for success in the role?
• How does this combination fit into the business as a whole?

These questions are listed on our Golden Scorecard - the best tool for getting the most out of your current team and hitting the bullseye with future hires. You can snag it here: https://www.goldenkeypartnership.com/scorecard/

In today's episode of The Biz Doctor, Lauren Goldstein shares some red flags she sees when hiring so you can avoid them when you hire your next role!

Because, fun fact: a bad hire costs on average $14,900 or 30% of their first year salary - personally we think it's more when you factor in YOUR time and energy - so avoiding these red flags is going to save yourself a boatload of time, frustration, and revenue when you factor everything in!

Specifically, Lauren shares with listeners these red flags you might see when you’re interviewing for your next hire including:

• What it looks like when the candidate doesn’t have a plan
• When they lack a humble growth mindset
• When the candidate isn’t coachable and they’re just bucking the system
