A short YouTube talk by Mike Andes about treating hiring like a sales process: create a repeatable system that advertises openings, manages applications and interviews, makes offers, nurtures candidates, onboards and trains them, and continually re-sells the company vision to retain employees. The speaker emphasizes structured, ongoing processes rather than ad-hoc hiring.
Are you wondering how to find and retain really good employees? You've always thought about how to find and retain good customers by using a sales process. You need a hiring system. Put out ads for hiring. Then we're going to have an application process, interview process, job offer, nurture and follow up with those applicants. Then we're going to onboard those applicants, try to train and retain those applicants, and then finally reselling them on the vision and the idea of working for your business every single day. You need to have a system and process for finding employees the same way that you've always been trying to find customers.
