VB MANAGEMENT - Recruiting, Resumes, and Hiring

Recently in my Business Management class, we discussed recruiting and hiring new employees. I've never thought about this, to be honest, but I now realize that having a great company culture begins with getting the right people.

What I found most interesting about the lesson is the "purple squirrels" concept. I naively thought that there must be SEVERAL purple squirrels out there who would love to work for my company. THERE ARE NO PURPLE SQUIRRELS. That perfect candidate doesn't exist. I now know that I will have to find the best combinations of candidates and mold them so that their strengths add to my company's culture (while allowing them to grow as individuals).

I recently ran across this video that talks about avoiding hiring people just like you. You want to hire people that complement you and your company's culture. See the video below.
