How I Hire: To Be Great at Hiring, Be Unafraid of Firing
How I Hire: To Be Great at Hiring, Be Unafraid of Firing
This may be one of my favorite subjects in the world. Let me explain: As a young kid at 22 I grew my family wine business from eight to 75 employees very, very quickly. One of the things I prided myself in was that I had people skills like no other; that I was a wiz-kid when it came to understanding the emotions and the “E.Q.” of others. Because of this, it was generally accepted that I was the best person do to the hiring and, fortunately, these hires worked out tremendously, and we all went on to do big, big business.
Fast-forward
to 2011 and I’m getting deeply involved in VaynerMedia, the social agency that I co-founded with my
brother, AJ. Walking in, I (of course) brought huge bravado: “This is how I
hire, and here is how we’re going to do things and blah blah blah.” And what
happened was that things went really well. We grew the business from 28 to 275
people in two years. But some of the hires that I thought were going to be home
runs ended up not working out so well. That gave me some pause and made me think
back to those early days at Wine Library and how not all of those hires worked
perfectly either. Anyway, this all got me taking a serious look at hiring
processes and doing some research, and everybody’s got “their process” and
“their way of doing this that and the other thing.” But let me tell you this
about the hiring debate:You do the best you can.
Everyone’s got their own filter. I’m giving you insight into mine right now, and I’m sure a lot of other influencers here on LinkedIn are giving you theirs. None of it is perfect and none of it is terrible. At the end of the day I’ll use a certain level of intuition, maybe a test, certainly a log of questions, but my principle has always been gut feel, and not to be crippled by the hire.You want to be great at hiring, do this: Go with your gut. Go with your intuition. Go with your process. If it’s black and white, and it’s a series of questions that leads to a numerical score, good. If it’s like me and you walk into a room, ask a couple questions, and go with whatever feels right at that moment, good. But here is the key to hiring: It’s taking the time to analyze what happened after the fact. It’s not being crippled by the fact that you’re the one who hired that person. It’s doing your best to give that hire all the things they need from your organization to succeed, but then, if that’s been exhausted, it’s about not being afraid of firing.
The way to be a great at hiring, is to be unafraid of firing.
