This kid is going to fill that container right around the time you finish hiring your team.
Building a team can feel exactly like this. You fill a role. Someone leaves. You hire a replacement. Another person isn’t working out. Your best employees pick up the extra work while you post the job again.
Eventually, you’ve gotten very good at recruiting for the same positions.
A loose hiring process can keep that revolving door spinning. Especially when you’re stretched thin and “we need someone fast" becomes the priority.
There are 3 things you need to make sure of in your interview process to stop the revolving door:
1. Does this candidate have our core values?
2. What are the top 1-3 skills this person needs to know ,and be world-class at?
3. Are we sure this person OWNED the work, and didn't just talk a good game because they observed the work?
Of course, hiring is only part of building a team. How you lead them matters too.
But if you keep replacing people because they clash with your culture or can’t do the work, your hiring process needs a closer look.
Over 100 hires and 10 years later, we developed the A+ Hiring Process to check these very 3 things, to get the right people in the right seats for good.
What have you changed in your hiring process after an expensive mistake?
