One of the hardest things about scaling is hiring.
When you’re small, you usually can’t pay top dollar for talent, and you don’t have a lot of traction.
You’re selling a dream, and it’s important that your early hires fully buy in to your mission.
When Offline started hiring we would post the positions on here, Indeed, etc., but we found the applicant pool to be lacking.
One day we thought: what if we just start sending our job posting directly to our subscribers?
The first time we did it we had 50 applicants in a day or two and we hired someone incredible for the role.
So we did it again.
And again.
And again.
Now, our Members are our default distribution channel for every new job, and nearly half our employees were Offline Members or followers prior to joining the team.
Not only do they believe in our mission, but they have a customer-centric focus because they’ve been in their shoes.
If you’re struggling to hire, consider reaching out directly to your customers.
