A brief YouTube short where John Jonas and another speaker discuss common hiring mistakes (wrong salary, unrealistic expectations, vague job descriptions, poor applicant volume) and emphasize that making mistakes while hiring is normal and useful because each attempt teaches you how to improve future hires.

Everybody wants to hire someone amazing on the first try and that's totally possible but I also see so many people who are over complicating this. This is so much more simple than you think. The first time you do this what's likely to happen is you're going to do something wrong like your salary is.
Going to be too low, your expectations are going to be too high, your requirements for the job are too high, your description is too vague.
There's like a thousand things that could go wrong right? You'll get too many applicants or you won't get any applicants. A with any of this it sucks. You feel like you wasted some time or some effort. It's not fun but it's still better than the worst thing you could do which is nothing. At least you're making progress. You make a mistake the next time you hire someone you have learned something new from last time and now you're going to do it better.
