Offering status and prestige alone won\u2019t cut it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot just publish a good old boring \u201cjob ad\u201d hoping to attract &#8220;A-players\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we go. Let me give you 4 tips to follow if you want to attract A-Team members so you can focus on growing your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">HOW TO ATTRACT A-PLAYERS FOR YOUR TEAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Avoid misalignment in your offer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A sloppy ad = no quality candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, years ago I saw one of the best job ads I\u2019ve ever seen. After reading their post I wanted one thing only \u201cwork for those dudes.\u201d I was not even looking for a job but I decided to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their vision was powerful and explained clearly. I was able to understand what they were building. That got me excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The essence of the Job was clearly laid out in plain language. It was very clear what the purpose of the job was in the ad. In other words, the offer did not have the \u201cmaximizing capabilities while minimizing communication insufficiencies\u201d kind of jargon nobody really understands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Alight your offer with your vision and values.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Be bold. Define outcomes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be lazy. Often this part is not done properly because it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Define the things the candidate must get done when working for you\/your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not things you hope one day will happen when we grow. You need to sit down with relevant team members and clearly define what the person needs to accomplish in the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re looking for a business development director. Well, if your outcome for your \u201cbiz development director\u201d is to drive company\u2019s business and increase revenue\u2026 you\u2019re setting yourself up for trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be clear<\/strong>. If you want this person to lead sales, say it. Define the outcome! Your biz development person can either bring 20K-500K or +1M in sales by the end of \u201cxyz\u201d. Define an ambitious goal. That\u2019s how you\u2019ll start telling apart B and C players. A-players like challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This applies to all the people you\u2019re hiring (VA, graphic designer, sales, product development, etc.) no matter the size of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Don&#8217;t focus on the task, focus on the outcome.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Are they adding value?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m all for effort and grit. A-players put in the effort. If the ad is compelling they would love to come and work <strong><em>with<\/em><\/strong> you\u2026 and that will show in the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people would disqualify a candidate for a grammar mistake or a typo. They may consider that as a \u201clack of effort\u201d from the candidate. I don\u2019t. What I am looking for is people able to bring ideas and solutions as the hiring process moves forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Heck, I am not a native speaker. So, if people were only focused on my grammar mistakes I wouldn\u2019t be writing anything at all.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By putting in the effort, I mean showing that they have ideas to help you move forward. You need people who see beyond the scope of your ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Focus on people who add value<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Competencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is hard! We all have been confronted with the candidate we like, we think is a great cultural fit but is lacking a couple of skills. The conundrum of our existence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let me come clean. I believe you can acquire skills. Cultural fit is more important than \u201cskills fit.\u201d However, even though you\u2019re hiring an &#8220;A-player&#8221; you must provide conditions for this person to excel in their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a small team and limited resources\u2026be honest, if you need a certain type of skill so the person can hit the ground running because you lack mentoring\/training\/coaching do not hire them. At least not now. Keep them in your rolodex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Define a list of 2-3 skills that person must have and stick to the rule.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What rule? They must have those two skills to be considered. People either have it or they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a tip or a \u201csecret technique\u201d you\u2019ve used and works great share it in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>PS: Read these to go deeper: Who by Geoff Smart and Randy Street, The Best Place to Work by Ron Friedman<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever hired someone who looked great on paper, but at the end was a total misalignment and you ended up having to let them go?
