There is one hiring mistake that we’re all guilty of making.
Whether you are a team leader, team owner, CEO or perhaps you’re an operations person who can hire throughout your business… that one mistake in your hiring process can be detrimental in the long run.
The moment you try to create a role for a person, rather than fitting a person in an existing role, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Regardless if that person is your friend, family, someone who has been a part of your business or a new individual that you like – you tend to believe you could fit them somewhere within the company when realistically, it’s not possible.
When you start altering your org chart, accountability chart, which is really your growth and people plan you have absolutely begun derailing your company without even realizing the course of chaos you’re headed in.
It’s pivotal you have a hiring system in place that flows back to your org chart – so you can stay consistent with your team and for those who are looking to join. The last thing you want to do is hire someone on the spot because you like their personality or believe you can fit them in somewhere based upon their ability to learn.
Although those are all great qualities, you have to have a specific role in mind before speaking to your potential hire or else you become distracted and stray away from your values.
If that potential hire fits a specific position, then interview them for that role within your company.
If they don’t, they’re simply not the best fit for you, your business and culture.
Again, it’s not always a family member or someone that you hold close to you. Majority of the time, it’s someone who is already on your team and a part of the business who is no longer sitting in the right seat.
This is where you need to pay the most attention. Not only is it destructive to have someone doing something they don’t like, but also, wearing multiple hats within your business when ultimately, they should have only one primary focus – to do the job they were assigned without any distractions.
Don’t turn a marketing person into an assistant.
Don’t turn an admin into a salesperson.
You must follow your core values and vision for your company if you want to continue to progress, grow and build the ultimate team that will come together to help reach that success.
