Welcome back to another interesting episode of the "Her Business by Design" podcast! Today's topic is “Recruiting for Culture V's Experience”. We look at our experiences over the past 13 years to give you our suggestions (which we are quite passionate about - lol).   Key Highlights: We share our recruiting disasters and wins and what we have learnt.  Looking at getting key team members to join interviews to get a different point of view. We explore why having years of experience in an industry doesn't’ necessarily make a person the right choice.  Looking at your environment and whether that new employee would be able to adapt to your environment.  Can they work fast paced?  Will they fit in with the current team. Its great to have a different personalities and ages etc, but they must respect and compliment each other in the workplace.  Talking to candidates about their past jobs to see if they can handle change. We look at proactively recruiting before you are desperate Recruitment companies are expensive, you don’t want to make mistakes.  Having connections in the industry is important for finding new people and getting advice.   Trusting instincts and seeking advice on hiring and to balance both cultural alignment and experience for successful hires.
