Avoiding Mis-hires: High Stakes Hiring Strategies for Startups-NYC

**Location- TBD

Topics we'll cover:

🙋🏿‍♂️ Values and Culture-Alignment

🔦 Finding the right High Stakes Hiring Strategies

👩🏻‍🏫 Avoiding Mis-Hires

👷🏾‍♀️ Building a Hiring Process

🕵🏻‍♂️ Scoping Needs + Roles

Hiring is often the hardest thing leaders need to do. And is also the most critical as people are the most important and differentiating part of our companies.

We often hear "we want that startup gene", or "the intangibles" and have built this workshop towards building out an understanding and concrete language for identifying target ideal candidate profiles, esp. leaning into the soft skill and value/impact/motivation alignment match. As we all know, the only thing we know for sure in these early hires is that their role will change over the coming months - so we need to be sure we're not over-indexing towards hard skills that won't be as important later.

Join us as we discuss avoiding mis-hires with our proven process and learn how to implement effective high-stakes hiring strategies that center around your company's core values. We will talk through how to utilize the resources available to you as a startup, and how to prioritize important core principles in your hiring decisions to not miss out on top talent!

This workshop will be interactive as participants feel comfortable, and the goal is to learn from the facilitating team (at Hustle Hunters), each other, and especially ourselves during this session.

In terms of what to expect - There will be a mix of knowledge sharing and best practices from the facilitating team, small group discussions, and self-reflection work.

Who should attend?:

Anyone who is hiring and building out a critical team within a startup (or scale-up) where the stakes are high, and so often the only thing we "know" is that everything in their role will change over the coming months. So we need to make sure we're defining and hiring folks with a builders and owners mentality, that are values-aligned with our organizations. Even if you've hired before - we'll dig into your unique organization's values and needs to help create a repeatable framework and shared language for making consistently aligned hires that will become the foundation of your organization.

Who is leading this workshop?

Nikki Adamson (Founder, CEO of Hustle Hunters), will be facilitating this discussion, and bringing in our experience supporting dozens of founders as they go about their critical early-stage hires. Hustle Hunters is a human-focused recruiting and consulting firm that supports early-stage startups in building out their foundational teams with an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
