In this episode I talk about advanced recruiting, interviewing and hiring techniques! This is a little longer but I guarantee that if you stick around to the end you’ll be happy! Let’s go! First let's talk about Advanced Recruiting. We take recruiting very seriously at Self Publishing School. My goal is to have at least 100 applicants per job posting and I use a bounty. (anywhere from $1000 - $5000 to help me find this person) Then I make sure to get that bounty in front of everyone. I also focus on referrals big time! I always ask "who do you know?" (that’s a stealth way to get high quality talent) Oh and Linkedin Ads work really well! Second let's chat about Advance Interview Techniques - My interview process feels like going to therapy. You need to dig in and find out if they are a good fit for your company and culture. When it comes to the interview It has been said "Dig Deep or Go to Sleep" Get comfortable asking the uncomfortable questions. This process can be polarizing! But that helps you and the candidate know if it's a good fit or not. I always ask current Compensation ASAP because I want this to be a better situation than their last few jobs. Finally, even if I'm not involved with the process I want to be the very last interview! That way I can make sure the person is a good fit. Finally, and we're almost done, let's talk Actual Hiring Process - This is specific mostly to leadership positions! You can find out more about our process in this video: https://youtu.be/vjTnad9jKk4​ When it comes to your executive team you want to hire “Bar Raisers” (Thanks Jeff Bezos) Ask yourself, "Is this person better than our best performer in this area? Does this person have the potential to be our top performer?" Which leads me to my next thought: always hire the Best Leader, not always the best Skill Set that makes it easy because if all things are equal the win goes to the leader Finally, Hire for Attitude! Are they willing to put on the brown shorts? What does Brown Shorts have to do with this process? We talk about it this episode! What are some of your takeaways from this episode? Is there anything you do in the hiring process that I left out? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
