Why Hiring Matters

Why does hiring even matter? There is not a lot of straightforward information out there that answers this question. This is crazy to me because making a bad hire can be costly on so many levels. Today, I’m answering this question and sharing the many ways hiring the wrong people can be a huge setback for your business, but also how hiring the right people can help your company flourish. 

I personally felt the ripple effect of a bad hire at one point in my career. The workload that fell on my plate due to this person’s mistakes, made me dread waking up in the morning. I’m going to help you avoid getting into a situation like this!

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Recap of the 3 ways to scale a business
  • The benefits of growing a team
  • The average cost of making a bad hire
  • My personal experience dealing with a bad hire
  • How to determine the core values you seek in every employee
  • The true definition of company culture
  • When to hire

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.
