How to hire responsible self managed people?

Hello warriors!

So our company has been growing to a point where we can afford to hire a few people. The problem is me, as well as the other partners all suck at hiring and managing people. But we find ourselves spending too much time keeping things running instead of growing. Where if we had a few key responsible people, we could focus more on growing the company. So the question is, how do you get responsible self managed people?

Specifically what we need is someone to take over managing all our media buys. We have banners on a variety of networks that need to be split tested and optimized daily. The person would also need to be on top of paying all networks on time so things keep running smoothly. The position is kind of like an adwords account manager, just more elaborate.

Thoughts?

    You may look for Webmasters in the Warriors for Hire section of the forum. I'm sure you can find a fair few competent people there.

    What you need to do is list all the tasks you want your new employee to do. Then using either camtasia (about $200) or camstudio (free version) record each task step by step. Now I know this can be a long laborious task but it will save you time in the long run.

    The reason for recording each task is now you can get very cheap reliable outsourcing staff from odesk, elance or agents of value. I've been able to employ great staff for as low as $4.50 per hour.

    Once you have 2 or three good candidates you can send them the video's which will walk them through there tasks. Also you will know how long each task takes so if they are taking too much time you cam refer to the training video where it took you x amount of time to complete the task.

    Finally if for what ever reason one of you outsourcing staff can't continue to do the job, you can just plug a new 1 in send them the video and their away

    I hope this helps...

    LOL... if you can actually solve that problem for business, you'll have a billion dollar info product on your hands.

    Truly self-managed people are very few, and far between - and if they're that self-managed, they're probably working for themselves already.
