In this episode… Many business owners rush to hire talent only to regret the decision later when the candidate doesn’t align with the company. Finding talent for your business isn’t just about filling a vacancy quickly; it requires a careful and strategic approach. How can you strike the balance between urgency and attentiveness in the hiring process? According to leadership consultant Pat Mancuso, hiring can either bridge the gap between financial success and personal freedom or create operational challenges within a business. Before making any hire, entrepreneurs must develop a standardized recruitment system that reduces bias and improves hiring decisions. This system should involve conducting behavioral assessments on potential hires to determine role fit and team dynamics. You should also train leaders on utilizing this system effectively to avoid costly turnovers. Through proactive recruitment, business owners can enable swift, strategic growth opportunities.  In the latest Destination Business Freedom episode, Pat Mancuso is interviewed by Chad Franzen of Rise25 about techniques for successful hiring. Pat discusses the long-term costs of a poor hire, the crucial components of an effective hiring system, and how to evaluate candidate behaviors.
