Your business is booming, and it’s time to hire.
That’s great! It’s an exciting time. It means you’re experiencing success and even more success is on the horizon.
But it also can feel daunting. After all, the labor market — especially for CPAs — is still tight. Finding and attracting the right fit can be tough.
You want to find the right person who will fit in with your company culture and help drive your business forward. Before you start looking for candidates, there are some questions you need to ask yourself.
First, what is your work style? Understanding your own work style is vital to identifying what type of employee will succeed in your environment. How will the right candidate communicate and collaborate with others? What temperament will they have? Will they want to work in-person or remotely?
Second, who has succeeded in your company and who hasn’t? Ask yourself why they were successful or why they struggled. What does this tell you about the traits you want in your new hire?
Third, what are the technical aspects of the role? You’re looking for a good cultural fit paired with the specific skills and competencies you need. Nice won’t cut it if the technical skills aren’t there.
By taking the time to answer these questions before starting the hiring process, you will have a clear understanding of the type of person you're looking for, making it easier to identify the right candidate when they come along.
Hiring is not just about filling a position; it’s about finding someone who can contribute to your company’s growth and success. Invest time in identifying what you need and you’ll find the perfect fit.
