⚾️ Moneyball is one of my favorite recruitment themed movies of all time and it highlights some of my favorite principles that all hiring organizations can learn from. Chiefly, that imitation is a poor hiring strategy. 📊 There are many ways a team can get in their own way when working towards organizational growth: cumbersome interview processes, limited budgets, etc. But, I’d argue the largest cardinal sin is not performing comprehensive due diligence on understanding the types of professionals that will truly thrive in your company. This often leads to the thought that defaulting to competitors’ hiring strategies will yield the best outcome when it may not work for your culture, your team, your budget, or the businesses/customers you serve. 🏆 Here are the reasons why the movie version of Billy Beane does a lot right as a tenacious recruiting GM: - He reframes budgetary constraints into an opportunity for innovation. - He takes inventory of his team’s strength and weaknesses individually, but also collectively. - He values the perspective of another trusted employee in hiring decisions. - He is willing to be uncomfortable embracing new strategies. - He sees value where others fail to. - He questions industry bias. - He ignores the naysayers. - He doesn’t expect his employees to be an army of clones. - He seeks culture add, not culture fit. - He truly understands his team, brand, and community and hires accordingly. 💡 As Peter Brand famously says “ Baseball thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions.” 💭 If you’re growing your team, what questions are you asking and are you definitive about what you are actually assessing? Where are you finding your prospective employees? Are you ready to define what it is your company offers to them? 📞 I’m Hanae Suk Bragg, CEO & Founder of Hospitality Confidential, a modern recruitment agency serving hospitality and F&B businesses across the US. If you’re a hiring manager for a hospitality or F&B business feeling stumped by the questions above, drop me a line so we can brainstorm. We want to be the Peter Brand to your Billy Beane. 😎 If you've got another favorite recruiting themed movie, drop it below! I'm always looking to add to my list! #hospitalityconfidential #hospitalityrecruitment #restaurantrecruitment #hotelrecruitment #chefrecruitment #culinaryrecruitment #strategichiring #recruitmentagency #foundersnotes #recruitmentpartner #nowhiring #recruitment #agencyrecruitment #hospitalityhiring #hospitalityjobs

🍽 Before I began my recruitment career almost 8 years ago, I spent years in the industry Hospitality Confidential serves (whether it was peeling cipollini onions as a line cook or running service as a fine dining GM). My love for the work itself never really left me and it’s what fuels my fire in committing to excellence for the businesses we represent as well as the talented jobseekers we meet. 🎩 Occasionally, I’m fortunate enough to take off the CEO/Founder hat and moonlight in some of these roles again. There’s not much time left in the week while running a company, but, I LOVE it and I do it for free. 🔪 This is a picture of me throwing on an apron to assist my James beard nominated chef friend throw an amazing AAPI event after a busy Monday in the office last week. ❣ There’s so much non monetary value for me in being able to get in the weeds of a busy hospitality operation on a regular basis. It’s how I remember the type of love that inspired me to build my recruitment agency. 🔄 Most importantly, it’s how I embody and practice empathy as a power broker between the businesses and talent we serve everyday. These seemingly small acts inevitably trickle down into the practice and culture our team embodies in our work. ☕ CEO’s and founders may choose from a wide range of activities that fill their cup. Some are fans of meditation and others of networking retreats. I’m invigorated by returning regularly to my professional roots. 🚶♀️ If you’re looking for a recruitment team that walks the walk, reach out! Who knows, I might just come moonlight in your business, too. 😜 🗓 Happy Monday, let's make it nice! - Hanae
