Hiring can make or break your business growth, and I've seen it unfold in two distinct ways. Route 1: The Game-Changer In 3 month - 1 year, you've assembled a dream team – committed, exceeding expectations, and giving you the freedom to focus on what truly matters. Your business is thriving, and you wish you'd made these hires sooner. Route 2: The Headache On the flip side, your recent hire has turned into a monumental headache. You're doing their work, business growth is stalling, mistakes are piling up, and you're questioning if the investment was worth it. Your time is drained on training and fixing issues, leaving you tempted to start afresh. Here's a shocking statistic: 82% of businesses that rush their hiring process end up with unsatisfactory results. I know which route I'd choose. The problem often lies in the flawed methods used to find that "magic unicorn" for your team. Cutting corners might seem efficient, but it's costing you more than you realise. If you think hiring is expensive, try the cost of a wrong hire on your business success. If you're serious about taking your business to the next level with an efficient team, it's time to revamp your hiring strategy. Say goodbye to the time struggle and team challenges!

"Hiring the wrong people is the fastest way to undermine a sustainable business." In today's fast-paced business world, talent acquisition is a critical determinant of success. This quote reminds us of the profound impact that hiring decisions can have on an organization's trajectory. Often, businesses fall short in their search for exceptional talent, settling for candidates who may possess the skills but lack the right attitude and passion. The truth is, attitude matters. The attitude of just one individual can influence the collective spirit of the entire team and ultimately shape the progress an organization strives to achieve. It's not merely about finding someone with the right qualifications; it's about identifying individuals with a genuine passion for what they do. When you hire for passion, you're investing in the future of your organization. Passionate individuals bring energy, dedication, and a desire to learn and grow. Their enthusiasm becomes contagious, fostering a culture of innovation and driving the company towards sustainable success. You can teach skills and knowledge, but you can't instill passion—it's an intrinsic quality that propels individuals to go above and beyond, ultimately propelling your business forward. Passion is what Harries Group builds itself on, understanding that it's the fuel that propels every successful venture. Let's prioritize passion in our hiring strategies, aiming not only for qualifications on paper but for individuals who are deeply invested in making a meaningful impact. After all, a team fueled by passion is the cornerstone of a thriving and enduring business. 🌟 #PassionInHiring #BusinessSuccess #LeadershipInsights #HarriesGroupPassion

We have a lot of new faces around here recently and wanted to take a moment to re-introduce ourselves. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Colleen, our talented Founder and CEO.   Colleen is an instinctively positive person who has always been drawn to the people side of business. She comes from 15+ years experience in #TalentAcquisiton and #HR spanning multiple industries (retail, tech, automotive, cannabis, the list goes on). Working for brands like Tesla and lululemon, she gained experience in full cycle recruitment from entry level through executive level roles, developing and executing training programs, and fostering a leadership style that is inclusive and grounded in helping others live their best life. In addition to her time with established brands, she also has experience in startups, including an overhaul of all things people and processes and creating these pillars from the ground up.   Colleen started The Linchpin Co. because she knew a better, more human hiring and consulting experience could exist. Role: CEO/Founder - It's a small business so I am kind of every department but the focus is on creating exceptional client and candidate experience, growing our client base as well as leading my team and helping them grow, and always finding time for fun and to give back Expertise: Understanding human connection and the ability to create a best in the world client and candidate experience. Exceptional communication with a sense of urgency that takes all of the questions out of the hiring or project process. What you love about helping candidates/clients: I love the search for the magical unicorn candidates that seem impossible to find. More than this, there is nothing better than helping someone land their dream job or helping clients fill their teams with amazing people. Random fact? I was bit by a shark during my lifeguarding days in South Carolina 🦈   #meettheteam #teamspotlight #agencyexpert #talentacquisition #femaleceo #womeninbusiness #femaleentrepreneur #workingmom

"Where does the process of business growth start?" 📈 It begins with hiring the right people. ✅ The connection between expanding a business and assembling the right team is critical. Employees who are well-suited for their roles contribute not only to the company's immediate goals and efficiency but also introduce innovative ideas, cultivate a positive workplace culture, and propel long-term growth. These team members are versatile, embody the organization's values, and have the requisite skills to lead and adapt through changes and growth phases. In contrast, hiring misfits can impede progress, lower morale, and lead to expensive turnover. Thus, focusing on strategic hiring that prioritizes long-term alignment and potential is essential for any company aiming for success and competitiveness in the market. #SoftwareEngineering #TechRecruiting #BusinessGrowth #GoToMarket #BusinessStrategy

David Russell – Too many leaders and hiring teams rush to fill a seat. They make assumptions and emotional decisions. In contrast, wise hiring is a systematic journey into getting to know people and discerning whether they are a great match with your opening. There is a lot to learn along the way about people trying out for your team. Don’t rush too fast, or meander too slowly. Fine tune your hiring system so the length of time it takes to confirm a great decision is reasonable. Hiring a strategic journey towards building your dream team and achieving success. #StrategicHiring #TalentAcquisition #BusinessGrowth #Wisdom #ProfessionalDevelopment
