Reinventing Your Hiring: How a Solid Recruitment Process Increases your Impact
How do we make sure our teams are filled with stars? The goal of every company is to hire top talent to build strong teams who will help us achieve our goals.
To form these teams, we rely on a cycle. The cycle ranges from hiring to team composition — onboarding practices, team dynamics, individual talent, etc.
The team-building process is an ongoing movement that helps us strengthen our teams. Therefore, it needs the Japanese philosophy Kaizen, meaning continuous improvement.
A core philosophy on the six levels of unicorn teams states that what matters the most in a team is the interaction between people rather than the individual talent.
However, team composition becomes essential when we raise the bar in solving high-complex problems, innovation, and building your startup.
To effectively manage team composition, we need to look at how we assemble our group—the hiring process.
As a manager and as a Unicorn Leader, your number one goal should focus on creating that high-performing team.
“Change and uncertainty are part of life. Our job is not to resist them, but to build the capability to recover when unexpected events occur. If you don’t always try to uncover what is unseen and understand its nature, you will be ill-prepared to lead.” Edwin Earl “Ed” Catmull, co-founder of Pixar.
This is the reality of the team-building cycle. You are building a team able to deal with uncertainty, deal with change, and continuously improve because change is the only constant we actually have.
Building a high-performance team is hard work, as you probably know, and it doesn’t happen overnight.
The composition of a team concerns the skills and attitude of each member, and you want to ensure you onboard the right people to achieve greatness in your company.
The truth is, the right star or talent can elevate your team’s success significantly.
But, if you have a flawed hiring process, you risk spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars when doing a bad hire.
You have to spend time building the team.
To hire top talent and achieve greatness, startups have to look and reinvent their hiring strategy and adjust their onboarding process.
How can you successfully do this? Below are a few tips.
