Caffeine Cast: Should I Hire Youth Attitude or Experience? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Who should you hire?
In this episode of Disruptors Rob discusses whether you should hire experience over attitude. Attitude can cost less money than experience but can that person can do the job how you want? Listen to this episode to find out!
Key Takeaways
- I don’t believe there’s a hard and fast answer. You need to think of your company’s vision and resources.
- Hiring youth can give more energy and work ethic. Hiring experience can bring better quality. Which your choose to hire I believe is role dependent.
- If you hire potential talent that is cheaper then you have to train them and guide them to get them to where you want them to be. Where as with experienced people you will have to pay more money for them.
- A lot of people who hire cheaper less experienced people don’t tend to consider things such as agency fees, not bringing in money for the firs 3 months or becoming uninterested and actually loosing you money.
- Don’t hire someone who doesn’t have experience in something that you can’t teach them. It would be like the blind leading the blind. But you need to ensure that the person you hire knows how to do the job properly.
Best Moments
“How much time are you prepared to put into training and development?”
“If you’ve got patience, a desire to help and train and some kind of training systems/path to lead them down then you could hire latent potential talent on the cheap.”
“On average a hire could cost about £24,000.”
“I’m way more now of the opinion that you get what you pay for but that’s not always a guarantee.”
“If you’re hiring an MD then you will want to find the best you can afford.”
“If there are any 2 roles that pay for themselves it’s sales and marketing.”
“If I was trying to find a head of marketing I would try to find a generalist. They’re not bad at multiple channels. You can then scale up from there.”
