• Start with a list of what your company’s needs are in the eyes of the managers and stakeholders. Conduct listening sessions and then translate those needs (and wants) into specific action items.
• Use this list to create a job description, being sensitive to what you can outsource. For example, if you’re in a startup and you need someone who can recruit and communicate while also managing culture, assume that you might need to outsource HR areas like compensation or compliance management. This will widen the candidate pool.
• Share the job description with everyone internally so that they feel listened to, and then interview candidates. Have your top candidate meet the rest of the team but make sure the team understands that it’s your hire and your decision.
• Move quickly. The early bird gets the worm.
