3 Questions to Ask Before Your Next Hire

Hiring is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a leader. The right person can accelerate your mission, while the wrong one can cost time, resources, and team energy.

Before you post a job or schedule an interview, pause and ask:

1.      What problem am I really trying to solve?

• Is the role addressing growth opportunities, replacing someone, or shifting responsibilities?

• Could outsourcing, restructuring, or adjusting current roles meet the need?

• Is this hire aligned with my overall people strategy?

2.     Do I have the right structure in place?

• Is the job description clear, with defined responsibilities and outcomes?

• Are team relationships, expectations, and resources in place?

• Is the team and leadership ready to support this person’s success?

3.     How will this hire strengthen our culture?

• Does the candidate align with our organization’s values?

• Beyond skills, will they elevate collaboration, innovation, and accountability?

• Will this person make our team stronger, not just “fit in”?
