“𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲… 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.”
Said every leader who later lost their dream hire to a faster-moving company.
Hiring isn’t shopping for clothes.
✅ Good clothes: Fit well, feel comfortable, last years.
✅ Great hire: Excited to learn, fits your vibe, grows with you.
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁:
🔸 They ask smart questions (not just answer yours)
🔸 They light up talking about your mission
🔸 They admit “I don’t know” + want to learn
Don’t wait for perfect. Leap for amazing.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
“Perfect candidates don’t exist. Amazing people do.”
Don’t let FOMO cost you someone great.
