Episode 4

How To Determine WHAT You Need To Hire

What + who + how = a great hire. Simple, right? The reality is that there’s a lot of work that has to go into each step to determine the right hire for your business. This episode is part one in a  three-part series where I’m defining the formula that I use to help small business owners make the right hiring decisions. Today, I’m explaining how to figure out what you need to hire for and tools that can make the process a lot easier. I share how to efficiently track your time, categorize your activities, and determine how much time you’re spending on tasks that may or may not be in your zone of genius. This isn’t the most glamorous part of hiring, but unless you take the time to dig into this work, you’re more likely to make the wrong hire. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Why hiring an assistant isn’t always the right move 
  • The best way to track your time 
  • Examples of growth, core operations, and administrative tasks 
  • Defining what your zone of genius is 
  • Getting to the root of why you’re hesitant to delegate tasks 
  • Prioritizing the tasks that are really going to move the needle on your business

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
