Director at GOELD: Pioneering the Future of Frozen Food, Essential Oils and Nutraceuticals | Championing Superfoods and Agri-tech Excellence.
From steel mills to running a Rs 100 crore frozen food business, the one thing which I feel has been the real key is, hiring My career path has been anything but traditional. After spending a decade in the steel industry, I leapt into the world of frozen foods. Two very different fields, yet I've found that when it comes to building a great team, some truths are universal. While building my business, I kept these 4 points in mind: 1. Character in our business, and attention to detail isn't just nice - it's necessary. One small mistake can have big consequences. That's why we look for people who take pride in their work and care about doing things right. 2. Honesty is the best policy, we all make mistakes. What matters is how we handle them. Being upfront about errors allows us to fix problems quickly and learn from them. It's a quality we value highly in our team members. 3. Commitment is key, it takes time to become skilled in our kitchen - about half a year of training. Because of this, we tend to favour candidates who show a history of sticking with their jobs. Frequent job-hopping can be a red flag for us. 4. Attitude trumps experience, here's something that might surprise you: specific industry knowledge isn't our top priority. We've found that most of what our employees need to know, they'll learn on the job. What we can't teach is a positive attitude and willingness to learn. These principles have guided me through two very different industries, and they continue to serve us well as we build our team. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. If you're looking to join the food industry, which of these points resonates with you most? And for my fellow business leaders out there, what do you prioritise when hiring? Let's discuss this in the comments. #HiringInsights #CareerTransition #FoodIndustry #LeadershipLessons #GoeldFrozenFoods

Attitude & honesty are key traits because an unskilled person can be taught the skills. However, someone with a lack of integrity is very unlikely to be a great team member.

What an inspiring journey! Your focus on character, honesty, commitment, and attitude really resonates with me. It's fascinating how these principles transcend industries. For me, the emphasis on attitude over experience stands out the most. A positive attitude and eagerness to learn can indeed make a world of difference. #HiringInsights #LeadershipLessons
