Hiring in 2021

On today\\u2019s show we\\u2019re talking about how to hire. I can tell you that I\\u2019ve hired hundreds of employees over the years.

\\n

We have recently brought several new members into our team and have focused on hiring for character. You can\\u2019t train character. People either have the kind of characteristics and attributes that will mesh with the organization or they don\\u2019t. You can\\u2019t train people to be committed. They either have that or they don\\u2019t. I\\u2019ve found that whenever there was a bad hire, it\\u2019s because we focused too much on skills and not enough on attributes.

\\n

I\\u2019ve heard from so many that hiring is difficult this year. I see the help wanted signs everywhere. I have no doubt that for tasks with low personal development and low impact, hiring will be difficult. There continue to be a lot of people out of the work force. Many of these people are those who have chosen to stay home for family reasons.

\\n

If you want to be hiring in 2021, consider that you need to offer more than just an hourly rate. You may want to consider engaging the heart, mind, and personal growth of your new team members.
