I’m a huge believer that great team = great business. You can be selling the same product as your competitor but if you have the better team, you’ll win every time. That’s why at PurpleFire I really try my hardest to hire the best talent possible (not only from the U.S. but globally). Couple key traits I look for in new team members: • Accountable • Easy-going yet hard-working • Growth-oriented • Client-focused What do you look for when hiring new team members?

Do you prioritize long-term potential when hiring? The right candidate grows with the company. They are committed and contribute to long-term success. Hiring someone who’s eager to develop and advance with the company creates a stronger, more cohesive team.

In our investor deck we said we would hire our first full time team member in April. We didn't. We thought about it a lot. We are aware of how important building a quality team is to achieve proper growth which is probably the main reason we decided not to hire. How can we help someone to fulfil their potential in a role when we are still learning about it ourselves? We are fortunate to have found ourselves with an awesome team, just none of them are directly employed by us. They are experts in their areas and we really trust them. Sidney Hiscox and I are now in a strange spot where we spend some hours of the day on the big picture strategy of Fera , the creative direction, operational planning etc and then probably as many or more hours answering customer service emails, chasing up fulfilment issues, creating barcodes for incoming products etc. Both of these are super important and you can't have one without the other. And in fact, being an expert in those seemingly 'smaller' operational tasks is really important, we are still working on it. That first hire is coming but only when we are as confident as we can be of their role and what it entails and most importantly our ability to equip them with the info/knowledge required to smash it.

When interviewing applicants, it’s crucial to inquire about their expectations and the “essential duties/benefits/perks” they seek from a potential employer. Understanding these expectations helps both the candidate and the employer ensure a healthy fit and alignment of goals. As an applicant, being clear about your “look fors” allows you to make informed decisions during the job application process. 🌟 😎 Applicants, make sure you hire the employer that matches your employer qualifications. This maybe the future format for resumes⬇️

Picture the next Einstein. Brilliant, right? Now, imagine them in your office. Sounds great, doesn't it? But what if they can't meet deadlines, or they're constantly stirring up office politics? Here's a game-changing perspective: Stop chasing the highest IQs, and start recruiting high 'GSD' (Get "Stuff" Done) scores. People who: - Consistently meet their deliverables - Navigate office life without creating drama - Build bridges of trust, not walls of discord - Know how to infuse laughter into challenging situations - Communicate effectively, cutting through confusion - Have an insatiable appetite for learning and growth - Believe in the power of unity and work as a cohesive team Why? Because your results will rocket to new heights. Workplace culture will evolve from a battleground of egos into a nurturing garden of collaboration and productivity. So, next time you're hiring, don't just look for the smartest person in the room. Seek out the one who'll roll up their sleeves, dive right in, and get the job done. Be bold. Be different. Hire for 'GSD' over IQ. Let's flip the script on hiring, shall we?

**read this if you're building a team** So you've decided to scale. You know you need the help of a reliable team to move forward... And you even started hiring. Congrats. But here's the thing when it comes to hiring a reliable team... It's like nurturing a basket of apples. All it takes is just one bad apple to ruin the entire basket. Every team will encounter one person who is a bad apple. These people will kill the enthusiasm of all your motivated team members. They blame. They complain. They resent the overachievers in your team as they make them look lazy & ineffective. You must not let them contaminate your team! Your only job as a team leader is to: Protect the energy, enthusiasm, and the code of honor. And you'd have built the team that gives you freedom :) So here's my one line team building mantra: - remove contamination & nurture enthusiasm. That's it. Goo Luck!
