Building and growing a team is more than just filling roles—it’s an art and a science. Some of the most important aspects of the process are: leveraging your network to source top talent, screening for culture add rather than just culture fit, and opening up meaningful conversations about career progression. There’s a lot to think about when it comes to setting your team up for long-term success.
I like your emphasis on networking when hiring. It's something I learned the hard way!
Yes, you can get better at screening and assessing people during an interview, but it's far better to curate a really strong network in advance.
