How to hire the right people for growing a company

from The Business Model by Inc. · host Inc.

You can’t scale a company alone. As you’re building, you’ll need to hire the right people for the job.    Those first hires are critical. But as your company grows, the initial staff aren’t necessarily the ones to take it to the next stage. Or are they? It’s a conundrum for founders.     Fortunately, this week’s Founder Group Chat contains real-life experience and advice. We continue with our trio of founders: Fany Gerson, founder of Mexican ice cream and sweets brand La Newyorkina, Sarah LaFleur, CEO of women’s clothing company M.M. LaFleur, and Ariela Safira, founder of recently acquired mental health startup Zeera. They’re joined by Inc.’s Graham Winfrey as moderator and host.      Listen to learn how these successful founders built the human infrastructure of their companies.    Inc. Magazine delivers advice, tools, and services to help business owners, entrepreneurs and CEOs grow their businesses more successfully. You'll find information and advice covering virtually every business and management task including marketing, sales, finding capital, managing people, and much more.  Visit Inc.com for the latest!    Get social with Inc. on:  Facebook: http://on.inc.com/ilqUryJ  Twitter: http://on.inc.com/8FGInRj  LinkedIn: http://on.inc.com/gt7KsIn  Instagram: http://on.inc.com/wLObvE2  Pinterest: http://on.inc.com/8lPoT0r
