As a hiring firm, know that candidates are thinking beyond the role you’re currently hiring for.
Eddy Ricci, Jr., CFP ®, CEPA ®: Chances are you’re going to hire someone to your organization that wasn’t “growing” (or couldn’t see it) in their current/past role. Being able to share how they can grow in your firm – AND- what is their responsibility for career growth and what is your firm’s- can be the most critical conversation in your hiring process.
Michael P. Connaughton, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®: The firms we see that attract the best talent have a defined career progression path. We’ve engaged with firms that share visuals with candidates outlining position responsibilities, growth responsibilities, performance measurements, and promotion considerations. As a firm owner speaking about growth potential is standard, while illustrating specifics on how a prospective candidate can take on more responsibility will be a differentiator.
