What are the red flag scenarios to avoid when hiring for your #startup? Andrew Johnson, head of talent at VeUP, says reframing your hiring strategy will help you to make smarter decisions, improve employee retention rates and boost morale. Read his insight 👇 https://lnkd.in/e-cX9ktZ

To flood your company with top-flight talent, you need strategic HR. I know: this sounds like common sense. But a lot of newer businesses wait to make that first HR hire. And, when they do hire HR, it is typically tactical HR (someone to take the myriad of questions and processes off of accounting). But if you wanna hire the best, you gotta bring in someone who knows how to find the best. Almost 15 years ago, I worked at the wellness startup called Shape Up and my *first* hire was Jackie Dube as VP of Human Resources. I was excited. But the two super entrepreneurial founders were beside themselves. Why did I hire an HR person and not someone to drive revenue or make product? I had a plan: I wanted the number of employees to go from 10 to 50 within the next year, and to do that, I needed Jackie’s talent. I wanted Jackie to "drown us in talent" so much so that we’d shock our competitors. She did just that. And because of that, we crushed it. When the company was eventually acquired by the Virgin group, there were 130+ employees and a great list of corporate customers. This success wouldn’t have been possible without the work Jackie put in—without prioritizing HR and talent acquisition from the very beginning. When you know what you want and have a plan for it, don’t let others tell you what to do. You can do it. Pictured: Jackie Dube (now our Chief People Officer) taking a swing at the Author and CEO.

Want the perfect team? Start by asking the right questions. Ian Jenkins and I teamed up to share the key questions every startup founder should ask themselves when building a team. Here’s what we came up with: → Are you hiring for roles you actually need? → Do you know what success looks like for each position? → Are you building a team that challenges and grows with you? And more. PS: Ian Jenkins is the Managing Director leading HR Consulting at cander consulting. If you’re growing your team, make sure to follow him for expert advice.

🥇 Scaling Up, Scaling Smart: Overcoming Onboarding Chaos Rapid growth can bring chaos. Once, I worked with a company that grew the operations team by 3x in 18 months. Roles multiplied faster than processes. 🚫 The Problem: New hires were lost in the chaos. No clear owner for onboarding questions. Candidates felt forgotten post-contract. 🌟 The Solution: Defined a successful candidate experience. Identified gaps and lack of defined processes. We empowered one Role to be the single point of contact. 🚀 The result A better company culture. A positive candidate experience. Happy hires led to stronger teams. Improved communication and support for our team. Have you encountered similar onboarding challenges? P.S. Repost to help other leaders. ♻️ Follow me, Angeles Ojeda for more HR insights. #onboarding #recruiting #hr #scaleup

Tired of seeing new hires walk out the door as fast as they come in? It's a brutal cycle: hire, onboard, and then watch them leave—disrupting teams and pulling your focus from big-picture goals to putting out staffing fires. This turnover treadmill is not just exhausting; it’s costly. Without action, you’re bleeding resources, losing vital knowledge, and your competitive edge is dulling. So, how do you break the cycle? Swipe to see our tips! When you invest in keeping your people, not just hiring them, you stabilize your workforce and enhance your organizational growth. 🙌 #HumanResources #EmployeeEngagement #LeadershipDevelopment
