Hire In Reverse

In a transforming global landscape, traditional hiring methods are inadequate.

The key to success lies in valuing and understanding people, nurturing a cohesive team culture, and adopting comprehensive, transparent interview practices that prioritize human attributes alongside skills. 

This shift is imperative to attract, retain, and satisfy modern candidates, as ignoring these human factors leads to inefficiencies, dissatisfaction, and mistrust, ultimately requiring a new strategic approach to hiring. 

Hire In Reverse offers solutions that encompass targeted candidate searches and proactive pipeline development, addressing the evolving demands of effective team building.

I help leaders find the hiring equivalent to product-market-fit.

GAME CHANGED
Remember when hiring was annoying, but doable?  Post, slog, wrong fits, frustration. Need more pipe, throw money at it.

Things are changing.  Workforce is different.  Old ways don’t work. Impossibly, hiring seems even more competitive.

Deep down, we’re not even sure our good hires are ok, ‘cause many just don’t make.

It's not the pipeline, nor your interview technique. It's how you THINK about hiring, people and culture.

It's easy to mindlessly slip into treating people more like hardware. But, selecting based on skills alone is destroying our culture, and leaving us with skilled people who don’t fit. 

THE NEW STRATEGY
Hire the right people by giving them meaningful work, learning, growth and impact.  It requires less friction; and creates a team culture that fosters strong bonds, based on trust and respect.

Reality: HR initiatives that fabricate respect and pretend to be unbiased, have the opposite effect.

Don't see it? It's ok. They do. It's your blind spot.

The problem is hiring process that fails to attract, and can’t dependably assess fit.

This feeling of disrespect causes good candidates to opt-out early, even some despite the fact they need a job.  

RULES DON’T DEFY LOGIC
Don’t think a list of skills will attract today’s workforce. And unlike in the past, they won’t stay if the role’s not a fit. 

The key is to understand the human factors at play.

And interview candidates from a from a full 360° vantagepoint. 

LEVERAGE HUMAN NATURE

There’s little chance of getting good results with incomplete data.  

Hiring that builds successful teams requires “two” not “one” well informed decision.

Interviews that aren’t transparent, intentionally withholding details because I think I can “sell them” into the job, is a recipe for recruiting-caused-problems. 

Strategy backfire!

It’s time to consider what ‘you’re not saying’, is communicating.  Because see it or not, the message is clear!

Regardless of how awesome your objective is, you're clearly not getting the results you deserve.

That objective needs awareness, credibility. Some ways to achieve that:

- Splashing money on paid ads,
- GTM marketing stunts
- Nurturing your brand's community.

Most founders stop at the first couple of options.

"No time right now for the third, we need to focus on immediate ROI".

6 Months down the line,

you don't get the return you wished for.

You're down bad and back at the drawing board.

Truth is — if you're only investing in the first two you’re wasting money on marketing that's unlikely to create any lasting trust or credibility with your target audience. Deep down, you know it. 

It's a combination of the three that bring long term longevity. 

Now, what if I told you there’s a very simple way to:

- communicate your brands vision and mission to the world,
- become an authority in your industry space,
- build trust and credibility for your company's cause,
- attract funding and partnerships, and
- inspire others to take action?

Of course, achieving this is no cakewalk.

But if you’re serious about bringing long term awareness and loyalty to your brand's mission, send me a message and lets help you connect with the right folk.
