According to HBR, hiring talent remains the number one concern for the entire executive suite and views talent and skills unavailability as the biggest threat to their business. Employers also spend an enormous amount on recruitment—an average of $4,129 per job in the United States, and many times that amount for managerial roles— and the United States fills a staggering 66 million jobs a year. Hiring quality leadership takes time and requires strategy, as the first hires are often cultural co-founders. As Reid Hoffman, board member of Endeavor Global, says, "The first 150 hires are your cultural co-founders. It's up to you, the founder, to get every one right."
So what are the keys to hiring for scale? In Season 3, listeners will hear from Endeavor Entrepreneurs on executive hiring strategies, leadership assessment, and industry trends designed for scale.
