Before You Send An Offer Letter… Do This

Before you send out an offer letter, do this.

Now, I almost didn't take my own advice once. I know. I'm so glad I finally actually did though because when I hired what I call my operator, she's my right hand, I thought I was gonna hire someone else. I really did. It was a referral. I was rearing and ready to go. We had them do four interviews and they were the best candidate that I had found. 

But, because I took my own advice, I can't not do what I say and tell everybody else to do, right? So, I ended up going and doing this one thing. I'm not willing to hire anyone unless I have two candidates that I both love. 

The problem when you only have one candidate that you really love, is you don't know where the bar is, right? If you have two candidates and they're very close and you really love them, that's when I make the hire. 

So, I ended up posting a bunch more on Indeed and a bunch of other places, a little worried that the other candidate might go away. Don't get me wrong. But I am so grateful that I did because the person I found, my right hand Leilani, is a million times better than I ever imagined. And I know I made the right hire, I know. 

Please take this advice. Make sure that you have two candidates that you love before you hire anyone. I know it takes a little bit more time but that way you are a 100% sure.
