Discussions

Hi everyone, I’d like to open a discussion about something that’s been on my mind lately. I’m helping a friend who’s building a small team for their growing business. They’ve reached the point where the workload is too much to handle alone, and hiring a few people seems like the next logical step. But they’re feeling overwhelmed by how to approach it properly. It's not just about reading resumes and doing interviews—there are so many angles, from team dynamics to long-term compatibility. So, I’m curious—what do you personally consider essential when bringing someone new on board? Not just the usual “good attitude” or “relevant skills,” but things you’ve learned through experience that really matter when making hiring decisions. Would love to hear your thoughts and perspectives.
