The Happy Clients Podcast 44. Real Agency Talk: Hiring For YOUR Values with Matt Jones
We love connecting with fellow agency owners and getting their perspectives on growing a team. Get ready to be inspired— hot-ticket item Matt Jones is on the mic.
On this week's episode of the Happy Clients Podcast, we dive into talking about what it means to be a values-oriented business. Matt Jones, CEO of SHED Social, shares his personal take on working with teammates (or clients!) that see eye-to-eye with you and are just genuinely driven to get the job done.
We can all take a little inspo from Matt’s ethos when hiring:
“Our ethos has always been to prove that you can be successful by treating people like decent human beings and while connecting on values. Treat people how you would expect to be treated, be fair, and treat your hires as adults. Give people enough space to grow and develop and do the job as you would hope them to do it.”
There’s so much to be said about how businesses bring respect, authenticity, accountability, and honesty to their teams. And Matt (and his wonderful wife Kate!) have done an outstanding job of holding true to their words and bringing light to all those who work with them.
We mean it, we love working with this team!
Cheers, to happy clients.
