A few mistakes we make when hiring people
We often find ourself short staffed as our company is growing at a fast pace. We feel as though we are constantly in catch up mode, yet somehow we deliver for our clients and continue to produce work of a high standard.
Behind the scenes it's a different matter. There is pressure and a constant reminder of the fact that there are so many things that still need to be done.
I am a strong believer in culture and finding the right fit when it comes to hiring employees. I handed over the reigns a long time ago to staff so that they can pick their own colleagues and it works mostly, but doesn't when they too find pressure in finding a person fast. They miss the small steps that always tend to be the most important out of the mix.
