Description

Everyone wants the “A’s.”  Getting them is easier said than done.  Worse, some companies discourage the best candidates via poor recruiting practices.

On this episode, we discuss the best way to approach the recruitment process.

You should always be recruiting internally first. -Craig Picken

Takeaways + Tactics 

• ALWAYS develop your bench. Constant people development is THE key to long-term success

• Your best recruiting pipeline comes from your teammates.  Want a great Ops Manager? Ask one of your Ops Managers… 

• Status quo gets you nothing. Your competitor’s superstar VP of Sales already has a good job. What are you going to do for him or her that makes THEIR life better?
