Creating a Strategic Hiring Process
To build a strong team, it is important to have a well-thought-out hiring process that goes beyond simply filling immediate needs. Instead of hiring reactively when overwhelmed, establish quarterly or biannual hiring seasons. Use these seasons to make a concentrated effort to recruit potential team members. Build relationships with individuals who could be great additions, even if you're not actively hiring. By adopting a proactive approach to hiring, you can reduce turnover, attract higher-quality candidates, and ensure a smoother onboarding process.
