Hiring The Right Person for The Scaling Process

Each person your business hires is an investment. The resources dedicated to the search, the onboarding process, and the time and money invested in training are all costs that must be recovered once the addition to the team becomes a fully contributing member. Many leadership teams view this as part of the cost of doing business. However, when hiring for a strategic position or one that will significantly impact the company’s growth, the price can be considerably higher. So, it is crucial to hire the right person for the scaling process.

Which Job Roles Can Influence the Scaling Process?

The obvious positions that have significant influence on the scaling process are those of executive or senior leadership, such as the CFO or CTO. Those in a more operational role that will impact scaling include the COO, product managers, and HR personnel. The final group that can play a major role in scaling consists of the investors and those who are handling the marketing tasks for the company. The company’s voice must align with its future vision to reach and engage potential customers, converting them into new clients.

What It Takes to Hire the Right Person for the Scaling Process

The investment you make in hiring a candidate for any critical role is time and money. When that new hire will have an impact on the scaling process, your investment of time and money can increase dramatically. Not only are you seeking a candidate with the experience and skills needed to fill the role today, but also someone who can grow with the company, or ideally already possesses the experience you will need in the future. The final piece of the puzzle is for the desired candidate to not only grasp the trajectory of the business but to embrace it.

All of these added criteria mean you will need a stellar hiring process and be willing to devote additional time to evaluate the candidate and discuss the future direction of the business to ensure you are hiring the right person for the scaling process. However, if this sounds like an investment of time and skill that is not in the wheelhouse of your management team, there is a very viable and reliable solution.
