It's a lesson learned the hard way.

Our guest on The Founder’s Journey Podcast, Michael Wright of Taligence, brings unparalleled insights into executive hiring. 

His experience at a global talent acquisition helm offers invaluable lessons.

Understanding Your Organization Before Hiring:

Before you even start, know what you're looking for. 

Engage your board, advisors, and leaders to pinpoint the exact needs. Clear objectives are key.

Evaluating Candidate Motivation:

Skills matter, but so does a candidate's drive and alignment with your mission. 

Those who believe in your vision are the ones who will stick through thick and thin.

Leverage Behavioral Assessments:

Go beyond the resume. 

Behavioral assessments and thorough reference checks can reveal much more about how a candidate will actually perform in your unique environment.

Hire Fast, Fire Fast:

Once your homework is done, act swiftly. Dragging out the hiring process can lead to missed opportunities. 

Fast, decisive action is a competitive edge.

Engage with Professional Recruiters:

Don't skimp on critical hires. 

Professional recruiters bring expertise and an extensive network, increasing your chances of making the right hire.

If you're scaling or poised to, executive hiring should be at the top of your agenda.
