480-716-5333The critical feature of a visionary is they always have their eyes on the horizon. They are looking toward the future and plotting the course that will take them where they want to go instead of following the path they find before them. In the business world, a visionary makes the conscious choices needed to reach the desired destination. It is all about planning to create the reality and future they want instead of going with whatever comes up and getting tossed toward a different destination. Scalable recruiting is the same process of building a system and making the choices you know will get you the desired result instead of leaving this significant and impactful task to chance.
Building Your Team to Have the Future You Want
No explorer ever set sail with an empty ship and the hope of finding a great place to get a solid crew and supplies along the way. When you are at the helm of a business, you need to have a reliable and proven plan in place to expand your staff as the opportunity for growth arises. You can look at past growth and know that you will need a specific increase in staffing to handle the steady, slow growth. However, the big rewards that will take your company from $50 million to $500 million happen fast and require agility and the ability to rely on a proven pipeline and process to grow swiftly, correctly, and purposefully.
What You Need In-Place for a Successful Growth Spurt
The foundation needs to be in place for any fast growth that will actually provide positive results. First, you need to have established a reliable pipeline to get quality candidates. These are the pros already in the industry who know how to do the job and can contribute from day one. You also need to have created a reputation as a great workplace. The culture needs to be inviting, engaging, and rewarding to ensure the best of the best have a strong desire to find a way onto your payroll. Make them want what they can’t have, even when you are not hiring, so they will be primed to jump on board when you have an opening. Let potential employees know that there is a sense of urgency, and when you need to fill a position, you will act quickly because time is money.
Finally, when it is time to haul in the big fish because you have just won a massive contract, there should be no hard work left to complete. Your prime candidate has been eagerly following the bait and is already hooked on coming to work for you. You only need to reel them in with a straightforward hiring and onboarding process. Have that offer letter ready and waiting to ensure they sign and return it while still on that emotional high of meeting with your hiring team and leaving that interview feeling desired and impressed with what your business is ready to offer them.
