With a narrow focus, you’ll overlook equally vital attributes like adaptability, problem-solving skills, and cultural fit.

They won’t be available for long.   If you find one you like, you need to secure them with an efficient but thorough process. Hasty decisions result in poor hires. But a lengthy process means you’ll miss the boat. 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 3️⃣ 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Without clear parameters defining a “good”, “great”, and “poor” candidate, your process will be full of inconsistency and bias. All candidates must be evaluated fairly and consistently. Then, you’ll make great quality hires and improve candidate experience, too. Securing a Top Engineer is more than just filling a role. It’s about building a team that will drive innovation and success. 𝘉𝘺 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴, 𝘏𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥. #engineers #hiring #grnpikespeak

“𝑰’𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑩𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅.” 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅-𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔…. During my Engineering career, I was fortunate to work for several great managers. They exemplified effective communication, established a clear vision, and made me feel valued. And the good ones all focused on mentorship over management. Instead of giving me answers to technical questions, they taught me how to find them for myself. Instead of accepting that it “couldn’t be done”, they challenged me to find an innovative solution. Both personally AND professionally, their actions had a significant impact on me. They changed my perception of what it meant to be an Engineer. They reinforced my commitment to continuous learning and improvement. And they reminded me just how important the collective effort was. If you’re an Engineer working for a less-than-supportive Manager… Don’t stay put for the sake of it. There are better 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 out there - I promise. Try to find one who inspires and challenges you. Take ownership of your growth. Never stop pushing your boundaries. And remember that every obstacle is an opportunity - there’s always a solution if you look hard enough. PS: Leaders, take a leaf from my old Managers’ book, and never underestimate the power you have to change someone’s life. #leadership #mentor #lovewhatyoudo #grnpikespeak
