The best hires don’t shy away from doing this ⬇️ Solving the big problems, first. Being strategic means we’re not afraid of dealing with the real issues in business. The best hires gravitate towards these problems rather than avoiding them.

🦄 Whether a company goes on to become a unicorn, whether it thrives and fulfils its potential, is partly determined by whether the right "game changer" hires are made in the business. Does the business have the right leaders in place to really drive the business forward and make the right strategic calls? With that in mind, I was delighted to speak with Anu Parthasarathy - whose specialism is making game-changing hires for tech businesses and other high-growth companies. We discussed: ✔️ The state of the market for senior executive hires today ✔️ What companies can do to help ensure they make game-changing senior hires ✔️ What timescales are realistic for making a senior executive hire ... and, most interestingly, Anu stressed that one of the key success factors for making a hire that goes on to succeed is ensuring the business is ready to welcome that person into the business. Are the right structures and culture in place to give that hire the best chance of success? If not, consider rectifying those issues before bringing that hire on board. Hope this proves helpful - and would be interested to know how you're finding the hiring market right now?

🤔 Do Perfect Candidates Really Exist? 🤔 The idea of finding the "perfect candidate" often overlooks something incredibly valuable: potential. 💡 At our company, we’ve seen firsthand how hiring based on potential—not just experience—pays off. 🌱 Some of us come from unconventional backgrounds 📈 Here’s why it works: 1️⃣ Cost-Effective: By training someone with potential, you save on upfront costs while they grow into the role. 2️⃣ Loyalty: Employees who grow with a company are more likely to thrive and stay long-term. 3️⃣ Diversity of Thought: Unique backgrounds bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the team. 🌍 🎯 Good fit isn’t about having every box checked—it’s about finding someone who can grow into the role and make an impact. 💬 What’s your take?

Tip #5 – Let Go of the Ego This one might ruffle some feathers. 😂 What do I mean by "let go of the ego"? Well, here's the hard truth: You're not doing the world a favour by hiring. Sorry. If you're serious about attracting the best talent, it's time to shift your focus. Stop thinking about what you need and start looking at it through the candidates eyes. 👀 What challenges are they facing that you can help solve? 💡 Why would someone leave their current role to join you? (Remember Tip #4) How can you demonstrate that you're the right move for them? If you want to hire amazing people, make it about them, not you. ----------------------------------- And there you have it. 5 Tips for Founders and Talent Teams to hire the best talent. If it all feels too much or your business is swallowing your time. (yes I'm about to recommend you talk to me) Talk to me.

I´ve had several heated discussions with Founders and hiring managers about getting very clear of who they want to hire and what this person should deliver. Even tho it sounds basic hiring hygiene, I can tell you, it´s not. ❗ Especially ❗ when this is a first time role for the company. I´ve heard them saying: - "I don´t want to limit my options" - "I want to see what´s out there" - "Speaking with different candidate profiles, I learn what I want" - "I don´t know exactly, but let´s kick this off and see" - "Let´s not waste time and figure out as we go" - "Why do I need a JD, it´s so bureaucratic" As much as I understand their problem of niching down, hard choices about priorities have to be made. Everyone wants the growth marketing leader who is also good at brand work. That’s cute, but... pick one. If you don’t spend time up front defining the role, you are very likely to hire the wrong person and be unhappy with the recruiter´s job of building good candidate pipeline. Seen that mistake materialise multiple times. Any suggestions to mitigate those fears and get clarity? #scaling #scaleup #growth #business #leadership

🔍 Finding the Needle in the Haystack 🔍 I remember a time when one of our clients was looking for a very specific skill set for a senior-level position. After months of searching on their own, they came to us, feeling frustrated and stuck. We didn’t just start sending over resumes. Instead, we dove deep into understanding their goals and the role’s strategic importance to the company. It was more than just matching qualifications—it was about finding the right leader. Weeks later, we found the perfect candidate. She brought more than just skills to the table—she brought leadership, vision, and the ability to navigate complex challenges. The business has since grown exponentially, and the new hire? She’s now part of the executive team, driving innovation. Stories like this remind us why we do what we do at Hirego. We find the talent that will change the course of your business. #LeadershipRecruitment #BusinessGrowth #Hirego

The hiring process is getting worse, not better - and it’s time to change it. It’s gotten worse in the last few months - I really didn’t think it was possible. The stories get worse every time someone posts. The list of terrible behavior and experiences are inexhaustible. Everyone wants to point the finger at the recruiter and talent acquisition people. It’s not them.  They are a symptom not the cause. The real culprits? Executive Leadership. Yup, I see you getting ready to tell me it’s not.  You have delegated that off to your HR and TA teams.  You aren’t responsible for how they do it. You would be WRONG.  This is going to get uncomfortable, so buckle up and put your listening ears on. As the leader of a company, whether it’s 2 people, 20 people or 200 people you ARE responsible for what happens in your company. Period. Full stop. 🛑 👉 You are responsible for the culture.  👉 You are responsible for the establishment of processes that support that culture.  👉 For the processes that amplify or detract from that culture.  👉 You are responsible for how your company is seen in the marketplace.  👉 And that includes the employment market. So, if you are a company leader, and you are not crystal clear on how you hire as a company, it’s time to do a deep dive in and find out. This will save you money - lots of it. 💴  This will save you time - lots of it. 🕰  This will save you effort - lots of it. 💪  It will make your bottom line better. 💰 If you aren’t sure if you have a problem - follow me here for a daily dose of the ugly, bad, and good. And for a how-to-do-better primer. I am here to make work better - and it starts at the beginning, with hiring.
