I'd like to share some of my thoughts on the important traits to look for in a candidate. These 4 traits can lead to hiring talent who will continue to evolve with the needs to the business and stay impactful and engaged in the long term.

Someone asked me this question and I want to answer it openly If you have been wondering how to get to across hiring managers without sounding desperate Then you may have to go through the carousel Most times we shy away from writing hiring managers because we think it looks like a desperate move but I tell you it’s not. You’re not only selling yourself but you’re also registering your name in their minds as one of the credible people to contact. Just make sure you’re everything you said you are I’m rooting for you always Have you reached out to a hiring manager before? What was the response like?

The first thing you need to note, as a company who wants to harness the power of microfiction, is that unless you have a lot of leeway, you can probably not do it on your own. Time IS money. You can take one of two approaches. Hire someone, or learn to do it yourself. Tomorrow's post will focus on best hiring practices.

Hiring doesn’t have to be a hassle. Follow this plan so you can focus on finding the right fit. ✅Define your must-haves. ✅Craft probing questions. ✅Ask candidates for concrete examples ✅Use subtle tests to spot the detail-oriented ✅Consider candidates who meet your must-have minimums ✅Rank finalists by any additional must-haves over the minimums ✅Get final clarification on any concerns ✅Share hypothetical worst-case-scenarios of the prospective role ✅Clarify starting timeline ✅Retrigger candidate interest before final selection

Are we hiring for the past or the future? It’s easy to get caught up in a candidate’s history, but I believe we often overlook a crucial factor: their potential. Hiring based on past achievements is like driving while only looking in the rearview mirror. Let's start focusing on the road ahead. What candidates can learn, how they can grow, and the new directions they can take us. It's not just about where they've been, but where they can go with the right opportunities.

A holistic approach to hiring may not be the traditional approach but it may be a new way of creating diverse and dynamic organizations that can deliver value.
