ICYMI: Paradigm now offers full-service small business recruiting!
You know how I always say to hire for the role and not just the person you want?
Wellllll, I’m snacking on some humble pie today because I went ahead and broke my own rule. (Hey, at least I’m honest about it! 😅)
In this week’s episode of On The Up & Up, I’m excited to sit down with Ashley Mina, our newest team member here at Paradigm. Because from the moment I met Ashley, I knew we had to work together.
Soooo, what did I do?
I created a whole new department just so I could hire her!
(Yeah, yeah, do as I say, not as I do, right?!)
But I swear, this off-brand hiring approach was totally strategic, and I’m more confident than ever that she was the missing piece of the Paradigm puzzle!
Ashley is a recruiting genius, and today she’s sharing her insider knowledge about what small businesses need to know when it comes to finding and hiring the right fit.
In this episode all about small business recruiting, we get into:
🤝 My own fears around starting an entirely new service at Paradigm (which I think a lot of you will be able to relate to!)
🤝 Ashley’s journey from high-volume corporate recruiting to small biz recruiting (plus what mindsets and strategies she brought with her vs. what she left behind)
🤝 Why your small business needs to prioritize the candidate experience (this one’s huge)
🤝 Common characteristics Ashley is seeing in candidates applying to our clients’ small businesses vs. those applying for corporate roles
🤝 The benefits of hiring an external recruiter, plus hiring tips for DIYers
🤝 Red and green flags to watch for in your job posts
🤝 Ashley’s advice for building a diverse team, even if your own background isn’t
If you’ve been struggling with hiring for your small business – or maybe just dreading it – this episode will give you some tools to start feeling way more confident in your process.
