How to Hire the Right People at Pro-Core
To maintain a strong culture at Pro-Core, the CEO emphasizes the importance of hiring individuals who are hungry, humble, and smart. Hiring based on technical skills alone can lead to toxic environments and disrupt team dynamics. The culture is set by hiring the right people and allowing the business itself to maintain and enforce it. While there may be pressure to hire industry luminaries, these decisions often result in regrets and a lack of cultural fit. Moving the needle at Pro-Core requires collaborative and inclusive teamwork, rather than individual selfishness. The CEO advises against hiring based solely on reputation, as it can lead to a mismatch in culture. Instead, individuals should be promoted based on their performance and capability in their current roles.
