In this episode of Rising Tide Startups, Kevin Prewett interviews Rick Girard, founder of Intertru and Stride Search. They discuss the importance of hiring the right people for startup roles and the need for a structured hiring process. Girard shares insights on hiring for personality traits and emphasizes the significance of eliminating biases from interviews. They also touch on the importance of planning, structure, and emotional connection in building successful startups. Tune in for valuable insights into entrepreneurship. A few highlights: Three Types of People in a Successful Startup Team: Successful startup teams comprise three types of people: builders, approvers, and maintainers. Builders are creative initiators, approvers enhance ideas, and maintainers ensure smooth operations, although they may not be ideal for startups. Two Types of Founders: Founders can be categorized as either visionaries or integrators. Visionaries excel at launching ventures but struggle with day-to-day operations, while integrators turn visions into reality by managing daily business activities. Build a Successful Startup Team: identify the specific type of person needed, whether it's a builder, approver, visionary, or integrator. Implement a strong hiring process to find the right fit for each role. Rick Girard recommends using a skills matrix, mapping out the required skills and abilities for each role, as a valuable tool in the hiring process.

As a company founder you have A LOT on your plate. So much, that it is often overwhelming so you scramble to delegate the things you don't like to do as quickly as possible. At the top of the delegation list is offloading hiring. Today I'm going to challenge you to own your people function for as long as possible because it is so critical to your success!. Last week our guest, Steve Newcomb, exposed his key principles for building successful companies. The most important element in building a successful company is … the foundation. “Do the big things right and then everything becomes exponentially easier”. This means doing the hard things first because if the foundation isn't right, everything else will be more difficult. Getting really good at the things you hate… recruiting, interviewing & hiring, translates into onboarding the strongest people early and builds personal credibility in you as a leader. Today we're going to discuss: Why you as the founder needs to own hiring as long as possible How to build your foundation to enable your business to grow exponentially easier Challenge today? Founders can't wait to delegate hiring Not good at it Don't want to invest the time to learnROI? Buy into the belief that there is no “Right Way” to hire Don't believe Why is this important to the company? To Build a company: Having a founder that is excellent at recruiting makes it easier to succeed Build a company that matters, Bonus: something with a mission that's embedded into the product How do we solve the problem? The Foundation Pre-determine the Interview questions Assign positions in the interview process Assign interview responsibilities Role play to gain competence throughout the interview The interview Start with the Discovery Call Determine Positioning & Value Positioning: Does what the interviewee desires align with what your organization is? growth? Value: Is this person an A-player? Evidence of impact that was made in the current role? Step by step Founder leads recruiting (Steve Newcomb) Communicate expectations to team Shoot for the Moon You can hire a-players Treat everyone like gold Do not waste the team's time with duds. Team Interviews scripted Easy to gain evidence to support a decision 3-4 questions each person for 45 minutes Hell Yes….. or No Skills Interview Real life problem that will give an accurate experience of how the team will work together to solve problems Prepare candidate for success or failure Get & give feedback Empower people to make the decision at each stage Trust their decisions Let the interviewee provide feedback Key Takeaways -Value: Strong foundation makes everything exponentially easier Own hiring as long as you can Set teams up for success by scripting the interview questions Host Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-girard-07722/ Company: https://www.stridesearch.com/ Podcast: https://www.stridesearch.com/hire-power-radio Authored: Healing Career Wounds (Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094TL14CD/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 HireOS inquiry: rick@stridesearch.com
In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to CEO of Stride Search, the host of the podcast https://www.stridesearch.com/hire-power-radio (Hire Power Radio), and the author of https://www.amazon.com/dp/173580360X (Healing Career Wounds), Rick Girard. Rick shares why he named his book the way he did. He shares that the book was written for entrepreneurs and business owners. Rick wanted to teach his readers that in order to retain stellar talent and have a healthy company culture, you have to heal the career wounds of your employees before you mindlessly throw money at them. Make them feel safe and valued and you'll see unprecedented happiness within your staff. If you want great people, you have to frame things from their point of view. The employees control the selection process, so you have to demonstrate value beyond a paycheck to attract good talent. Stride Search is an executive recruiting firm and they specialize in filling hard-to-fill roles. They recruit executives, engineers, developers, and more. Stride Search seeks to help companies refine their recruiting and hiring processes so that forever moving forward, the companies they work with are equipped to find and keep the best talent possible. An unfortunate trend Rick has noticed is that the recruiting industry tends to ‘throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks'. Most recruiters only hope they sourced the right fit. At Stride Search, it may take a little time, but they find the perfect candidates for their clients. On average, the companies they work with choose a candidate Stride Search found within the first 3 candidate choices. People often fail in roles because they were either hired wrong or trained wrong. Too many companies seeking candidates aren't up front about internal issues, so when a new employee is surprised, they tend to resign. Josh and Rick explore how to build a company culture and how as a business, you should want your employees to thrive. You want to have a more meaningful relationship with your employees beyond just what they're paid and their roles. Make them feel a part of something with mission, purpose, and value. Rick shares the three things to look for when hiring. First, what is the candidate's ‘pain'? Were they disenchanted by their previous job? How have they been mistreated in previous roles? Next, what are the candidate's desires and how can you meet those desires? Finally, what impact did they make during their previous role? How did they grow in it? Ask these questions and make them an intrinsic part of your hiring process. Want to learn more? Check out Stride Search's website at https://www.stridesearch.com/ (https://www.stridesearch.com/).

The guy is a born rebel.In school, he challenged his teachers when he thought they were shallow. He questioned his coaches when he thought they were making bad calls. He even grilled his friends when he saw them doing things he regarded as not so smart choices.Why? Was it because he wanted to be helpful? Because he cared just that much? Nope. It was because, more than anything, Rick liked—and still likes—to win. And, like George Costanza on Seinfeld, he's figured out that the way to win, which almost always turns out to be the opposite of what everyone else is doing.That's why he developed his proven system for hiring—and gave the start-up world a much-needed kick in the ass.Rick didn't grow up dreaming of changing the game in recruiting…or business of any kind. His dream was to be a Playboy photographer (don't judge!) until he decided that as much as he loved creating art, he liked eating and having a roof over his head even more. So he took a job in recruiting, and even though he phoned it in, he wound up making a lot of money. However, when a friend derisively referred to him as a “resume-slinging cowboy,” Rick knew. It was time to up his game…by changing everything he was doing.He studied many approaches to recruiting, ultimately perfecting the process into a single system that is both seamless and highly-successful in achieving the right results. The result is the Hire Operating System (Hire OS), a secret weapon that focuses on hiring consciously that consistently attracts the best people. As the founder and CEO of Stride Search, Rick used (and still uses) this system to build top-performing teams for Silicon Valley start-ups and other cutting-edge companies. His mission has been to give committed start-ups the clarity, power and system to make hiring a win, every time. And somehow, he has turned his unsettling impulses, unruly nature into success for hundreds of clients.In case you were wondering, those clients aren't the only people who get to enjoy Rick's unique take on the world. His value driven nature, insights and systems are enjoyed by audiences every week on the Hire Power Radio Show & Podcast. In his spare time, he competes in a laundry-list of alpha-male activities, from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to surfing to rock climbing to running with scissors.Rick has a wife, a child and a dog, who all put up with him for some unknown reason.

But you need the people with the right attitude.” “This is especially important for a small set-up or culture.” “As a culture, you want to be able to offer upskilling and augmenting options to your candidates and team. You need to be career-minded of the people you do have.” “When you bring in someone better, they help elevate the success of the entire company.” “You should always be talking to your people to understand what they want and where they want to be fit.” “It is important to try and provide something more than just monetary benefits.” “There’s still talent shortage and you need to go out and be pro active to find the right people.” About the podcast Sunny Side Up is a series of 15-minute podcasts.
