Step 5: Create a New Set of Rules for Talent Recruitment

 

https://hbr.org/2014/01/how-netflix-reinvented-hr
Netflix (The online streaming media company a.k.a. TV on the go), is thumbing their nose up at tradition Human Resource methodologies by setting the bar higher; they expect people to be fully formed adults. 

Their controversial hiring and management practices have made the cover story in the Harvard Business Review. Check It Out: Netflix--A Great Place to Work

One of their tactics is to put their money into hiring winners. Netflix discovered that two mediocre employees could be replaced with one A-Player.


"Sprinkles are for Winners." - Flo from Progressive Insurance
For those of you who grew up believing there are no winners and no losers, welcome to the real world. "Sprinkles are for winners."

What do A-Players expect from other A-Players? Intensity in all they do.  

Yes you have to pay that person a bit more, but you get one self-starter instead of having to pay two for the same output.

Now there's a caveat to hiring a company full of A-Players; at some point, they will want to kill each other. Not literally, but figuratively.

So that means you need a new way of managing people's behavior and workflow.


Which I will explore in the next part of this series.

Create your own rules for hiring. Rules that fit YOUR workforce culture.

See you next time...
