\"5<\/a>There is a definite art to finding the right person for your open\u00a0job. When a person walks into your office for an interview, you\u2019re talking to someone who may be your colleague for years to come, someone who could one day play an integral role in your business. When hiring, you need to pay careful attention to every potential employee who crosses your path.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Here are some tips to help you determine whether or not each person who walks through the door is the right person, as well as some perspectives on the characteristics that the best potential employees should have:<\/p>\n

1. Hire Employees Who Understand Your Company\u2019s Audience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every company, whether it is\u00a0making a product or selling a service, has a target audience. If you\u2019re bringing on a candidate, you want to make sure the person you hire understands the ideal person toward whom\u00a0your business is geared.<\/p>\n

The best\u00a0candidate for a job should be able to demonstrate a real knowledge of, care\u00a0for, and investment in the desires and needs of the business\u2019s target customers \u2013 whoever they are, wherever they are. Candidates like this are the people\u00a0who can bring the right kind of suggestions and ideas to the table when they\u2019re in the role.<\/p>\n

2. Look for Diversity When Hiring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you are located in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, or the Midwest, it\u2019s important to consider diversity in hiring. Thinking about diversity along a variety of\u00a0different lines is a great way to ensure\u00a0that your company doesn\u2019t get stuck in a rut and can come at problems from multiple\u00a0creative perspectives.<\/p>\n

3. Hire Employees Who Are Curious<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curiosity is one of the most important traits to look for in a potential employee. When candidates walk into an interview, they should be digging into what drives the company, asking why<\/em>, and trying to learn the reasons behind why your company operates the way it does.<\/p>\n

If a person comes to an interview wanting to know as much as they can about how the company operates and what the company\u2019s goals are, they\u2019re going to hit the ground running when they get to work. A candidate who asks a lot of questions about a company demonstrates the desire to know and the dedication to learn.<\/p>\n

4. Hire Candidates Who Are Not Easily Fazed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any environment, whether a small startup or a big enterprise, can be highly stressful at different times for different reasons. It is important to look for candidates who aren\u2019t\u00a0easily rattled. A cool head is always important, and it\u2019s a characteristic you\u2019ll want in anyone\u00a0who joins your business.<\/p>\n

5. Hire People Who Believe in the Big Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

In business, a person needs to have passion. This is especially true in the startup world, where a few individuals try to carve out their own niche in an often difficult market. It\u2019s not easy for everyone to see the endgame when they\u2019re in the thick of it, pulling long hours and wearing many different hats. But for a startup, you want the kind of people who can\u00a0<\/em>see it.<\/p>\n

When a small business launches, it\u2019s not always easy for those on the inside to communicate the long-term vision to those who aren\u2019t on board yet. A good candidate must be able to see this vision\u00a0as clearly as the people who launched the business do, and they must be able to visualize the market and the long-term payoff.<\/p>\n

If a candidate comes in with an enthusiastic and passionate vision of where your business is going \u2013 and their vision aligns with your own \u2013 then they are definitely a candidate to keep at the top of your mind.<\/p>\n

Shift Your Hiring Attitude as Your Company Grows<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a company starts, it often needs jack-of-all-trade employees. As a business scales, it often needs to fill more specialized roles.<\/p>\n

Your business needs \u2013 and therefore your hiring<\/em> needs \u2013 are going to change as your business grows. Make sure that you have a clear idea of what you\u2019re looking for when you sit down to establish a role. As your business grows, make sure that you\u2019re moving toward the specialized talent you need, even if those candidates aren\u2019t the multi-taskers who\u00a0would have been lifesavers during\u00a0the company\u2019s first phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
