The 3 Commandments to Hiring your first Employee/s
Advertisement
For quite some time, you've operated your new business as lean and mean as could be expected under the circumstances and keep on wearing every hat yourself. At long last, you've hit a point- - or your limit - where, in order to remain competitive and prosper, you'll have to welcome a helping hand aboard your ship.
The question here is, “How do you go from being a solo venture to one where you’re forced to find and rely on others to help you grow and run your business?”
Here we’ve compiled a rundown of tips to help you hire your first employee/s
Work
Hire someone when you realize that you require them and can afford them, regardless of the possibility that it's tight at first. The extra oomph that another person gives in brainpower, creativity, and sheer legwork is totally worth it. Things that would otherwise take you weeks will be doable in days. Whole work streams will disappear from your to-do list.
Looking past degrees
One key trait of a skilledhiring manager is the ability to see potential, not simply evidence of past success. Search for someone who has a strong interest or passion for causes or missions that are similar to yours, and, independently, evidence that the person is okay at what he or she has done before.
Ask them to do it
Many people know precisely how to answer interview questions in a way that ingrains confidence in a hiring manager. To put it plainly, it's (moderately) easy to bullshit. Along these lines, research demonstrates that the most ideal approach to vet someone is to have him or her complete a task for you—for instance, in case you're hiring a salesperson, ask them to sell you something.
Your firstemployees help set the tone for your business, for everything from company culture to how well your business rotates in light of a new situation.
