How can we hire and retain employees?
Short Answer:
The #1 source for talent is referrals from your own employees. And if you have a “fishing hole” from where you draw talent – a specific university, Fortune 500 firm, adjacent industry – then your existing employees likely have friends there who they are willing to refer in, creating an eventual wave of talent coming your way who are good friends. This plays into the importance of having a best friend at work to help retain employees, according to Gallup. Once you have a flow of talent, use the Topgrading interviewing methodology to guarantee you’re choosing the best from that pool of talent. Read Foolproof Hiring by Brad Smart and Who by Geoff Smart, both quick reads. Then have someone on your team take the Topgrading hybrid course hosted by The Growth Institute.
