How to Hire the Best Candidate

Here are the crucial things to look at to help you hire the best people for a growing business.

1. Alignment with values

Check if the candidate connects with your ‘why’. If they do, they will enjoy working with you and it will also be easier to overcome difficulties when they arise. 

2. Trust

Trust has to be mutual – you need to be able to trust each other. During the interview, think whether you find the candidate trustworthy, and you need to build mutual trust when they join your company. After you’ve hired a  new person, monitor them closely until you trust them. Apart from that, you also need to gain their trust, to do that keep your promises and listen to their concerns openly. 

3. Quality and speed of work

In a fast-paced startup environment the speed of delivery is very important. Look for people who can deliver quality work and do it quickly. If you want to grow fast, you need to surround yourself with people who can deliver fast. 

4. Personal development

Hire people who are constantly working on self-improvement. As they grow, they will help your business grow and take it to the new place. Give them a chance to develop their skills and support their learning. The reason why it’s important to hire eager learners is that your company is going to evolve and is going to be a different place after a while. You need to have on board people who are able to adapt to the new environment and grow with you. 

5. Sense of responsibility

You want to hire people with an internal locus of causality, not a victim mentality. This is crucial in avoiding accountability issues. 

Find your tribe and grow together
