Using good old accounting talk, this is an area where your greatest asset and greatest liability are all rolled into the same time thing. Staffing is the only way you can grow a business beyond it being ‘just a job’. Staff have the ability to contribute much more than just fees, staff build businesses.

3 Things to Consider when Hiring:

1. People: You need to look at the person not the hard skills, skills can be taught, the person is a product of their own personal development and are the real asset that you are investing into.

2. Culture: You need to step outside the confinement of the job description and ask yourself what this person believes in, what matters to them beyond what is being presented in an interview. Building a culture in a workplace impacts how long and how dedicated the team are to your business. Bring in the wrong person and the harmony of your entire team is at risk.

3. Technology: You need to consider staff that know how to operate systems and platforms that you have in place. This might not mean that they have used the specific platforms, but there needs to be some indication that given the opportunity they are good with the technology.

The old saying “That’s not how we use to do it” is one of the most toxic phrases in a modern business. A team of innovators and leaders write the rules as they go, building and evolving as the opportunities arise. That’s a dream team.
