I’ve been watching clients and peers struggle with this for years…
AND I've been there too…
Even though I came from a corporate background in Human Resources and *knew* how to properly recruit and onboard employees, I still tried to take shortcuts and hire in “my own way”...
And I’ve seen clients do the same…
- Hiring someone because we like them and they’re fun to talk to.
- Looking for a virtual assistant because our colleague tolde we like them and they’re fun to talk to.
- Hiring the first person that comes along because we’re desperate to get the tasks off our plate. us we need one (even though we don’t know what to delegate to them).
After a few time and money-sucking experiences, I decided to go back to the proven HR practices I learned in my past career.
I created a simple framework that ensured my clients and I could make SMART decisions about outsourcing.
This took me from making panic hires and struggling with unmet expectations,
to easily finding amazing team members whose names end up in my gratitude journal.
