October 28, 2021 18:32 - 25 minutes - 20.8 MBWe are in full swing of this “Great Resignation” and a record 4.3 million people quit their jobs in August. If you are one of the business leaders who have been losing people, please realize that it is not them, It is YOU!

Right now, there are much better options in the form of growth and career satisfaction. Which is why people are taking th...
The Hidden Pools of Sales Talent with Chris Beall
October 21, 2021 19:47 - 29 minutes - 25.9 MBWhile everyone is chasing the same people, ie: those who work for competitors or the 3-7 year up-and-comers, there is a huge pool of talent that are on the sidelines waiting for a well positioned opportunity to present itself. I’d like to challenge you to think about the concept that outstanding talent comes from the most unlikely places. Last week we heard the story of a top sales performer at Swag.com who had no sales experience at all. But the Desire alignment was through the roof and...

Hiring Your First 10 People with Jeremy Parker
October 14, 2021 19:21 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBGrowing your company from 2 to 10 people is the most critical time in your company's life cycle. The reason for this is every single hire that is made can make or break the company. Every founder I meet has a story of “we hired a person that we thought was going to be a rockstar and it turned out to be a disaster”. So where do things go wrong when a bad hire is made? The interview was run from a position of need; where we focus on selling the opportunity. So excited to get this new r...

How to Stop Sucking at Hiring Sales People with Joseph Fung of Uvaro
September 23, 2021 22:39 - 28 minutes - 24.6 MBHire slow, fire fast is a motto we have all heard as startup founders. It makes logical sense but what really happens is quite the opposite. As entrepreneurs we shift into panic mode when we have a need and move quickly to fill the role. Completely missing all the evidence that this person will be a bad hire. Once the person is in the seat, the dread of having to refill a role often leads to concessions made to the detriment of the business. Hiring Slow means investing the time to really ...

How to Terminate an Employee with Dignity - Lori Torres
September 09, 2021 20:43 - 28 minutes - 25.1 MBThe first time I was fired was when I was 16 years old and working at Numero Uno Pizza. It happened really strangely, I went in to pick up my paycheck and the manager let me know that this paycheck would be my last one as I was no longer employed there. No warning and no explanation. Bewildered, I simply walked out the door, walked across the street and was hired by their competitor. The way in which the whole experience went down, left me feeling embarrassed & resentful.

Now when I ask the question, the results just make me …. Sad. “Please raise your hand if you have had any formal interview training at any time in your career, other than what not to say in an interview”. Three hands were raised. 3 out of over 400 people!

Employees Value Purpose Over Money with Lorna Borenstein of Grokker
July 29, 2021 20:47 - 28 minutes - 24.5 MBHave you ever thought to yourself “If we only could have paid a bit more money, we would have landed the A-player we really needed to hire”? If so, you would be wrong. We often assume that money is the main reason for the turn down but in reality, it is our inability to demonstrate how our opportunity brings purpose to the individual. It is no longer a time where good people will sacrifice career satisfaction for a paycheck. The balance of power has shifted and the mindset has changed. ...

Why Purpose & Understanding Drive People to Want To Work For Your Company with Casey Welch of Tallo
July 15, 2021 19:00 - 25 minutes - 22.7 MBListening is the most critical interview tool you have. Not listening to respond (which we all do) but listening to understand.

In fact, the last search we completed had an overwhelming number of people that would only be interested in a hybrid or fully remote work situation. Quality of life has become far more important to people than the paycheck.

Why do we feel like we need to see a lot of people to “compare & contrast” before making a decision? Because we have been conditioned to window shop to ensure we are getting the best “deal”. But this is a transactional mindset which causes us to hire too fast with zero evidence to support the decision. Resulting in bad hires! Let’s change your perspective...

Diversity Hiring Fire Drills with Venesa Klein of Calibre One
May 21, 2021 17:16 - 22 minutes - 19.8 MBIt is no secret that diversity sparks innovation and fuels business growth. But diversity for the sake of image or social pressure is dangerous. It needs to truly be embedded into the fabric of the corporate values in how people interact. It is not just checking off a box to satisfy outsiders. This is most dangerous when someone is hired simply for their gender or race without any consideration of what the individual is positioned to contribute. Values are misaligned, expectations miscomm...
