Don’t hire generalists. Hire specialists. One of the most common mistakes when hiring is hiring an all-rounder. We made this exact mistake when bringing on our first few hires at Prospa Media. As the saying goes, “A jack of all trades is a master of none” 🤷♂️ Hiring a generalist rarely works as, well, most roles require a specific skill. And if you've defined the role properly, you should be looking for someone with a narrow but in-depth understanding of their skill. A successful hire is having the right person in the right job at the right time - with the right skill set for the business problem at hand.
Love some specialists!
