They won't last long. The good candidates go quickly..” - Jamie Johns“In terms of hiring slow. The emphasis here is the follow-on method, follow mythology that takes all the emotion out of it because you don't necessarily need to like the person. Sometimes we just meet people and we sort of instinctively like them. Sometimes we instinctively don't like them and sometimes we call it intuition. This is my intuition. This is my gut feeling. And for more experience, that's all rubbish. That's all rubbish. What you want to do. You don't need to lock the person in terms of them getting a result for doing the job. They just need to get the job done and get a result. You don't need to lock them in a personality sense.’ - Jamie Johns“If you're procrastinating and taking time to act, you're going to lose the good people that they're really good to. People just want certainty. They want a job. They want certainty. They want to work.” - Ed ChanGET IN TOUCH!Website: www.wizementoring.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wizementoring/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wizementorinLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wizementoring/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wize.guys/?hl=enEmail: [email protected] the full transcript ________________ PS: Whenever you’re ready… here are the fastest 4 ways we can help you fix and grow your accounting firm: 1.
