Hiring first employee to get more work and leads.. Advice needed
I am planning to hire my first employee. This is not as easy as I thought it was gonna be as people can hide their cons very well. I can't completely follow my instinct as people often talk the talk.
In my case, it's even more difficult as I am looking for an experienced sales/marketing profile with industry experience in the creative design/video sector. The mission is to get someone who's well-connected, has some industry connections that can lead to jobs and knows how to develop well and blend in with my current company structure. I have a budget ready to pay this person for the first 6 months however I do not wish to wait 6 months before any jobs/money is coming in.
I'd like to know how I should prepare myself, how I should vet these people, what the best deal is (first two months part-time to be continued with a full-time schedule?)...
Also, finding an experienced profile and approaching them is the hardest part for me right now. I could easily find people that I believe could fit the bill but often times they are already working for another company. Should I only focus on profiles that are currently seeking or is it appropriate to approach hired profiles as well?
What are the most important things to watch out for? How do I welcome this person into my company/small office, etc.. it feels very weird because it is the first time I am doing this...
please share your advice and your experience
