41: Jacqueline Martinez on How to Hire the Right People
Should you apply for the job you feel underqualified for? Should you leave the job that makes you feel secure? Are you confident in your hiring process whether you are the one being hired or the one that needs to hire someone else?
These are the types of questions that I wanted to ask my go-to gal for all things talent, recruiting, and career, Jacqueline Martinez. What better way to pick her brain than to invite her to be on the podcast? Jacqueline is a Career and Human Design Coach at Off the Record. She is also a mom, wife, business owner, HR leader, athlete, podcaster, and speaker.
There are three main questions that I’m asking her in this episode: Do you really need all the credentials listed in a job posting? What should you do if you’ve stayed in a job out of fear that you won’t be able to find the flexibility that you currently have? How do you ask for what you really want?
Whether you’re the one thinking about looking for a new job or you’re trying to hire someone for your team, this episode is going to be super helpful to you.
In Today’s Episode We Discuss:
- How job descriptions are usually thrown together
- Knowing what you have to offer
- Focusing on what you do have rather than what you don’t have
- Figuring out what you really want
- How to ask for what you want
- Identifying what flexibility means to you
- Having difficult conversations
- The value of learning to look at things differently
- How to hire the right person for your team
Asking yourself what you really want is the crucial first step to getting it. If you aren’t clear on what you want, how can you know if you already have it or not? Hopefully, this episode helps you figure out both what you want and how to get it.
If you’d like some more help with this, you can schedule a call with me and we’ll figure out what’s best for you! You can also follow me and Jacqueline on social media to see more content from both of us.
