When hiring, we often focus on the job title and technical skills. But what truly sets a great candidate apart is their mindset, their problem-solving abilities, and their passion for learning. For instance, when I was hiring for our CS operations team in Mexico, many of the ideal candidates hadn't had direct experience with CS tools. However, they had a proven track record of supporting internal teams with technology. They could bridge the gap between a customer's needs and the technical solutions available. It's about finding individuals who are eager to learn, adapt, and grow. By prioritizing a candidate's potential over their past experiences, we can build teams that are not only skilled but also innovative and resilient. What are your thoughts on hiring? Do you prioritize experience or potential? #hiring #talent #leadership #recruiting #mindset

I've always been selective when it comes to choosing roles and companies that align with my personality. Working in a fast-paced environment with multiple responsibilities resonates with me more than a slow-paced setting lacking growth opportunities. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt once highlighted the importance of hiring "divas" – Divas are those who believe. They will drive the culture of excellence. They have high expectations and push individuals to their limits. They are unusual, controversial, and they care deeply.These unconventional and passionate individuals are key to achieving success. Creating a team of "Yes men" might hinder innovation and growth. Embrace the unconventional and hire divas who will lead your company to new heights with their unwavering dedication and belief in your vision. #InnovativeHiring #CompanyCulture #coworkingspaces #SuccessMindset

Shout out to Better Talent for a beautiful process so far in on-boarding me to find my Operations Manager. From Team to technology you have me covered with such service and professionalism. Hiring is stressful, being concerned about hiring the right person, even more so. Making sure that you communicate effectively what you are looking for so that the Talent feels confident that they are a fit, takes experience. I am very confident I will find the right person working with Better Talent, but until then, if you have not yet connected with them for your hiring needs you should! I am a very specific and unique person being on the spectrum, and not once did I feel that way. Ps: I am hiring, which is a milestone for Trust Synthesis that I am so very humbled to be experiencing! #blessed #humbled #hiring https://lnkd.in/d-nbK52Z

“We can find anyone who has initiative.” “No one under 30 wants to work.” “He has the right skills; he just won’t follow directions.” The piece of the hiring puzzle that many overlook is: Recruit to your mission. Steve Jobs had the reputation of being a hot-tempered manager throughout his life. His key skills that made him successful were in creating products, recruiting, and marketing. He recruited to his mission and vision. Apple’s mission statement is “to bring the best user experience to customers through innovative hardware, software, and services.” Do you think Steve Jobs hired anyone who did not align with his vision? No. A players recruit A players. “My #1 job here at Apple is to make sure that the top 100 people are A+ players.” Instead of asking, “Does Bob have the necessary skills to hit the KPIs?” You need to ask, “Is Bob the kind of guy who embodies our mission?” Will he follow the company's mission when no one is looking? When you hire people who don’t match or care about your company vision, you are employing future liabilities . Steve Jobs stayed true to his mission by hiring people who were innovative – willing to create something from nothing – rather than solely for their technical skills. Are your A players really B players?

Demonstrating empathy is a skill set. It can be learned. It should also continue to be developed. It is not a stagnant skill set. It is not a coin phrase to be used to sound important or cool.

Are you ready and eager for some #MondayMotivation?? Let's start this week off with a bold message: hiring for the sake of hiring is not going to lead to success. Putting a warm body in an empty role doesn't qualify as a hire. What should you do? Hire the right people. People with the right values, the right attitude, and will fit the company culture.

When you start hiring like this. You will have the best performers.

Over the past 15 years, I've hired hundreds of support professionals. Want to know the truth? The best performers often didn't have the 'perfect' credentials... Looking to scale your support team but struggling with hiring? Here's the uncomfortable reality many leaders face: → Traditional hiring focuses on degrees and certifications. → Top talent gets filtered out by rigid requirements. → Cultural mismatches cost thousands in turnover. → Support quality suffers despite "qualified" hires. Let me share what I've learned from building high-performing support teams: 1/ Character Drives Results: While degrees take years to earn, character shows up day one in customer interactions. 2/ Resilience Matters More: Degrees hang nicely on walls, but character powers through tough customer challenges. 3/ Long-term Success: Certifications open initial doors, but character keeps your team growing. 4/ Customer Connection: Degrees show what someone studied, character reveals how they'll treat your customers. 5/ Team Culture: Qualifications list technical skills, character builds the support culture you need. The results we've seen with character-first hiring: → 92% improvement in team retention → Higher CSAT scores → Stronger team collaboration → Better problem-solving creativity P.S. Curious how to identify and hire for character in your support team. Let's discuss your hiring challenges.
