Business leaders are demanding an answer from human resources, and this is HR's opportunity to figure it out and create and deploy workable solutions for the organization. Start with the basics, and have a plan. Determine why somebody would want to work for you and why somebody who already does would want to stay, then, tell that story. Expand your pool as much as you can. The way that HR approaches the work will largely drive how they are perceived by the executive team. How they see themselves affects how the organization will see them. It changes the role when the mindset shifts and the HR aspires to be an executive. The HR can be more than just the organization's mascot, they can be the person who lets the CEO know how they are received or are affecting the company or an internal management consultant that gives sound advice and provides solutions to organizational challenges.   "Figure out why you're differentiated - why would somebody come work for you, why would somebody stay. And then tell the story. That's powerful. Then, you can start fishing - if you have a clear, logical, story to tell." — Andrew Bartlow   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Check out Andrew Bartlow's book, “Scaling For Success” by clicking on this link: https://www.scalingforsuccessbook.com/Connect with Andrew Bartlow:  Website: https://www.seriesbconsulting.com/ | https://www.peopleleaderaccelerator.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bartlow/  Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370

Special Guest: Andrew Bartlow: Co-Author of 'Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organisations' After working with hundreds of start-up founders, Andrew has discovered that ego holds many of them from achieving true success. They often focus on irrelevant things that will make their company look good and forget about the most important foundational work. On the other hand, founders also want to meet (or exceed) the expectations – of customers, employees, end investors and that's great. The challenge happens when they start comparing themselves to companies that are lightyears ahead of them. Andrew would love to share real stories, from the field, of working with founders 1-1 to help them overcome ego, prioritize better, and achieve success. Andrew Bartlow has 25 years of Human Resources and Talent Management experience at organizations across a wide spectrum of sizes, maturity stages, and industries. He is the co-author of 'Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organizations', has a master's degree from the top program in his field, and has been CECP, SPHR, Six Sigma, and executive coaching certified.

Time and People are the most precious asset your company has on the road to success or failure.  As leaders, It is our responsibility to protect the time of our team to ensure that projects are delivered on time. It is also our responsibility to put processes in place that ensure that the strongest people are in the right seat! Shouldn't each step of the interview process have a purpose and save time for everyone involved?   Yet Interviewing is the single point of failure in almost every company.  Too long.  Too short.  No clear direction. Or riddled with boobytraps that repel strong people from even engaging with your company!  Our guest today:  Andrew Bartlow, Founder & Managing Partner of Series B Consulting. Which helps businesses to articulate their people strategy and accelerate their growth while navigating rapid change. He also founded the People Leader Accelerator, which is the foremost development program for HR leaders at startups. Andrew Bartlow has 25 years of Human Resources and Talent Management experience at organizations across a wide spectrum of sizes, maturity stages, and industries. He is the co-author of “Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organizations,”  Andrew has worked with clients like MasterClass and many others to help them overcome obstacles in a hyper-growth phase.  Today we discuss: Why your timing kills hires How to Time out your process in the most effective manner Challenge today? Filling roles with good people with less of an internal organization tax Too many interviews, too much time - I'm out Over emphasis on consensus, 10-12 people over multiple rounds Giant time drag on a company   People fall out  Offer to close rate 60% is not good! Why is this important to the company? Time - interview time takes away from productivity Rapid growth is usually essential. Time burns cash runway, employee time and goodwill, and competitors keep coming.  Efficiency matters - particularly at the early growth stages Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Should be able to make rapid hire / no-hire decisions, and fair/reasonable separation decisions without months of agony.  “Hire slow and fire fast?” I'd suggest looking for a goldilocks zone on both. Take the time necessary, but not one minute more than what is net value-adding to do both.  Rick's Nuggets All that is needed is: Discovery Call Value Alignment Interviews  Working Session (skills) 10 business days max How do we solve the problem?  Start by clearly defining the roles that you want to fill Source candidates in a scalable way Expand the pool Employer branding @ Series A should get beyond friends & family network Hire a dedicated recruiter Need a screen / filter before the manager sees the candidate Passive candidate magnet Check for compensation expectations & role interest; initial assessment of required skills, knowledge, and experiences Goal is that ZERO candidates make it to the hiring manager who have out-of-bounds pay or role expectations, and all of those candidates moving forward have experiences that reasonably match the role   Manager vetting before meeting the team One and done interview process ~30 minutes 1on1 via video Confirm that the candidate is interested in the role and the comp budgeted - preclose the candidate Ask for references here! A candidate shouldn't come meet with a team until / unless the hiring manager is a strong advocate to hire them. Don't waste the broader team's time. Work Product Sample (optional - often good for technical roles, but rarely for G&A) Give a real problem - don't spend a lot of time coming up with hypotheticals, too many variations which will change Faster / easier / more accurate to work on a real problem. Just get an NDA. Related alternatives - Can review Github rather than request a project. Can conduct a live shared-screen working session. Can ask for examples of prior work that demonstrates a good fit for the role. LOTS of candidates drop out at the project stage. Don't let this become a barrier! Team Screen One and done over video, with multiple people involved Cultural (watermelon @ Gusto) interviews have a risk of being counterproductive. To be effective it should be structured, interviews have good training, and the traits assessed should be really clear AND ALIGNED with the future needs of the org. Danger of holding onto the past - what got you here, won't get you there.  Decision After the team screen, there should be a hire / no-hire decision. Lots of organizations get hung up comparing candidates, not sure what they are looking for. You need to fill jobs with good people and KEEP MOVING. A hiring manager / hiring team which isn't sure what they are looking for is the single largest waste of time and energy in the company-building process. Can have a calibration meeting. Maybe the recruiter supports it, but really, the hiring manager should own the decision and have the most energy around moving forward. Offer & Candidate Closing Rick's Nuggets Reverse engineer the time to hire and set timelines for each stage Set process before you define roles Train your people on “how you hire” Gain commitment from interviewers for excellence Key Takeaways -Value: Streamline your process. Fill jobs with less time from the team. May or may not fill the role in fewer days, but can reduce total hours committed by the group from 100+ to closer to 10. Yes, this requires a bit more ownership and potentially a little more time (per candidate) from the HM, but should dramatically reduce the overall time by the team.

“Keep it simple. Be brilliant at the basics”. This is the advice that Andrew Bartlow, Founder of Series B Consulting gives to small, high-growth organisations looking to scale rapidly on this week's This Much I Know episode. Managing Partner Carlos Espinal chats with Andrew about Andrew's recently published book, “Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High-Growth Organizations.” The two discuss common challenges related to rapid growth, including the brilliant jerk' phenomenon, along with the merits of when a company should define a proper HR function. Regarding the latter point, in super early stages of a company, HR encapsulates payroll, employee benefits, and recruiting. But when a team starts to have around 20 employees, Andrew suggests that a CEO should hire a dedicated recruitment role. “You want a dedicated internal recruiter once you're hiring 10-12 people a year,” Andrew says. “The recruiter will easily pay for themselves.” They also discuss how to find the right advice from the right people for founders. It's important to prioritise context over content and to not go shopping across a bunch of different people for advice - it's better to find the targeted advice that fits a founder's own context better. Tune into this week's episode to hear some of the secrets to scale your high growth startup successfully!

He helps businesses articulate the people strategy and accelerate their growth while navigating rapid change.  Andrew starts by talking about his experience of writing a book and how he narrowed down the information despite having so much to share. He discusses companies that succeed in spite of themselves and what it's like working with hyper scaling organizations, like Masterclass. He mentions details on developmental programs and Scaling for Success. He shares insights on HR development, the importance of people leaders, how to implement them in the space and what to look for when hiring a people leader. He touches on what the 2021 strategy for HR looks like, and what is the biggest factor people leaders are facing in 2021. He discusses how people leaders need to address the performance management side while balancing the wellness side as well, and what the core needs are for employees.  References: Scaling for Success

KEEP UP WITH ANDREW Website: https://www.peopleleaderaccelerator.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bartlow https://www.seriesbconsulting.com/ Book: Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High-Growth Organizations Key Takeaways: Your team needs to ruthlessly prioritize their top three goals that will make the biggest impact. You can move three things a mile or thirty things an inch. Like a waterfall, your team’s actions, culture, and hiring processes should all flow from those top three goals. To determine the highest priorities, use a (1) bottom-up approach to decide as a team the top three things to move your organization forward or (2) a top-down approach where you decide the top three goals on your own and invite your team

With over 25 years of human resources and talent management experience at organizations, this week's guest shares some of the people-centric activities you need to focus on to achieve high growth. Andrew Bartlow leads Series B Consulting, a firm that helps companies build their people strategy and accelerate their growth. He is also the Founder of People Leader Accelerator, which is a development program for startup HR leaders, and the co-author of Scaling for Success. Andrew used to be a bit self-conscious when it came to telling people he worked in HR. He found out that not a lot of people knew exactly what that meant and that it had a negative connotation around it. HR goes beyond employee relations and payroll. Andrew would often tell people he was in management consulting because that's how the best companies approach it. What inspired Andrew to write his book? Well, everyone has a book inside of them, but Andrew saw a huge gap in the market in the startup ecospace. There are a lot of companies that are seeing a lot of success in spite of themselves. Andrew wanted to help them optimize their HR work so that it would not become a case of just dumb luck. CEOs and Founders are often hesitant to share their top-level plans down to the organization. In an environment where startups are often resource-starved in the beginning, it can be hard for leadership to make the commitment and stick to it in an uncertain future, but everyone needs a vision before they begin to do deep work.   Interview Links: Sponsored by: Sweetprocess.com Seriesbconsulting.com Andrew on LinkedIn   Resources: Scaling Up Workshop: Interested in attending one of our workshops?

As companies grow their company culture also grows and evolves. When that happens there are two common reactions: Slap on some shiny new process or HR tactic that they heard some Fortune 500 company was using Try desperately to hold on to their existing culture and stop it from evolving Both of these reactions often make things worse. So what do you do if you’re leading a high-growth company and want to make sure you have a vibrant culture and the right mix of processes and freedom? That’s the exact question I kicked around with Andrew Bartlow on today’s episode. What it boils down to is awareness, critical thinking, and intentionality. You need an awareness that the changes you’re experiencing are a natural evolution for a high-growth company. Then think critically about what might work for your specific company. Don’t just blindly copy an approach from a company you admire. Finally, be intentional with your changes. Don’t make them for the sake of making them. Really think through what your intended outcome is. Simple, right? But definitely not easy. About our guest: Andrew Bartlow is a Human Resources and Talent Management expert and the co-author of Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High Growth Organizations.

I'm trying to help up-level the function trying to help people understand what the real opportunity is in the work.” - Andrew Bartlow “You're not so big that you already have somebody with my experience onboard full time. You're not ready for that, yet. But, you probably want somebody more than running payroll, and delivering benefits to think about how you operate your organization.” - Andrew Bartlow “You can certainly appreciate and think fondly of the past, but you've got to be willing to evolve along with your business. Otherwise, you're apt to get in your own way.” - Andrew Bartlow Resources Mentioned: Andrew Bartlow LinkedIn Series B Consulting Scaling for Success: People Priorities for High-Growth Organizations Fusco & Orsini Insurance Services Mike Fusco LinkedIn  Ray Ramirez LinkedIn
