Hiring may be one of the most important decisions we ever make as entrepreneurs. A good team member can help us achieve our goals and the wrong employee can crater our plans. Here are some unique tips on what you can do to hire better and more effectively in the future, in other words, the do’s and don’ts of hiring.

We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you.
Do - Consider Outsourcing
The last thing most of us want to do is give up control of who we hire to an outsider that doesn’t understand us or our business as well as we do. Yet bringing in an expert to consult and help assess candidates makes a ton of sense unless your background is cemented in hiring, hr or organizational psychology. Outside experts can help identify what traits really matter in your hire and help you identify the right person for the job.
Don’t - Hire for Tomorrow
Employment should not be permanent. Although it’s in our nature to want to hire the perfect person for a forever position, especially today, employment tends to last no more than 3 years. Be sure when you’re developing the criteria for your hire you keep in mind that the role is not permanent and hire for exactly what you need right now, not what you need forever.
Do – Put Culture First
The culture of your business is incredibly important. Finding the right person that can help continue to develop and nurture the culture you want is imperative in a hire. Lead with culture and the results will come.
Don’t – Rush it and Don’t Get Discouraged
Hiring can be difficult for both parties. Not only is it a negotiation it’s also in many ways just like the first couple of dates. Finding the right employee can be a daunting task that requires a good helping of patience. Remember, investing and developing in the right people will have an outsized impact on your business for years to come.
