The New Year is nearly upon us. Now is the time to start planning for your next wave of hiring. Why? Because the hiring craze is coming. When it hits you can scramble or be prepared and calm. If you are ready to set yourself up for success so that you are leading the way, here is what you need. 1️⃣ Simple hiring process. One that is communication heavy. It will be short, and it starts with your job descriptions. 2️⃣ A strategic and leadership driven retention plan. This starts with the C suite and runs all the way to the bottom. It starts in the hiring process and ends with a solid transition plan for exits. 3️⃣ Lead more and manage less. You want to attract the best talent. To do that you need to build trust and loyalty. This is built through leadership, not management. 4️⃣ Develop a C4 Company Culture - A C4 Company Culture is Communication, Connection, Community, and Care. This is how you build and maintain raving fan employees. If you are ready to start NOW for your next hiring phase, give me a YES in the comments.

💡 Time to shake up the hiring playbook. Instead of only scouting for folks who’ve walked the exact path before, let’s champion those with a tapestry of experiences ready to weave new success stories. Fresh Perspectives: Diverse backgrounds = innovation goldmine. Adaptability: Professionals who’ve worn multiple hats can juggle flaming swords if needed. Problem-Solving: A varied experience toolkit means creative solutions at the ready. Leadership and Collaboration: Because being a team player isn’t just for sports. Transferable skills are the Swiss Army knife of the job market—versatile, reliable, and often overlooked. #TransferableSkills #Hiring #JobMarket #CareerPivot #RecruitmentRevolution

I’m unsure of the exact way to quantify the impact of this, but… People will take less money or % ownership to: - work with people they want to work with - work on a project bigger than themselves - work on a team that motivates them - work on something that genuinely excites them -sleep better at night in terms of perceived risk I can speak from experience having done this myself. As you build a business and team — think of the above to help attract top talent. #buildingbusinesses #entrepenuer #hiring

The hardest role in a company is CHRO. It’s also the most overlooked, misunderstood and undervalued. It’s easier to lead an org that builds a product, financial plan, data, marketing plan or sales funnel, than lead the strategy for people. Why? People are unpredictable. Leaders can be challenging. Teams can react in ways that are surprising. People can be messy and have real challenges that have to be addressed by HR Then layer on a global pandemic, remote work, endless hiring, immediately followed by a massive drop in valuation and layoffs. It's whiplash. It’s also a lonely role - there is so much that can’t be shared. If only I understood this role better throughout my career I’d have given so much more time, attention and care to my HR colleagues. You can start now though.

Dear hiring teams, Please don’t cage an exotic, free bird. You say want a unicorn. You say you want a big thinker. You say you want someone with creative ideas. But you don’t What you really want is an order taker. A pencil pusher. You want a yes woman or yes man. If this is the case, be honest with yourself and more importantly- be honest with them. There’s nothing wrong with hiring someone to fulfill the needs of the org even if they're mundane. But there is something wrong with selling a role as anything other than what it actually is. The hiring and job-seeking process is about alignment. Candidates need to be honest with you and you need to be honest with them. Sincerely, Stifled creative employees #jobsearch #careeralignment #careerdevelopment #creatives #careermama

As a company owner, you have a choice to make. Either you can define what success looks like for your business and become a role model for your team, or you can hire a team of professionals who bring their own abundance of skills to the table. Very few people can manage to be a role model among hired professionals. So, ask yourself: what do you want for your business? Do you want to be the leader who sets the tone and drives the success, or do you want to follow the lead of those you hire? The choice is yours. #linkedin #success #hiring #leader
