So How Do You Build a Company that “People Love Working” At?

#1 Starts with the Type of People You Want to Hire

•  Ask: “Besides expertise and experience etc., what type of people do I really want to hire?”

•  Centrify focuses on: •  Smart •  Non-political •  Collaborative •  Collegial •  Comfortable in their own skins •  Self-starter and self-motivators

•  In other words, define the “match.”

#2 How Do You Get a High Hit Ratio of the “Match?”

•  Candidates should interview at least with > 6 employees.

•  Hiring managers must do reference checks (vs. recruiters).

•  Do formal background checks: •  Did they not reveal an employer? •  Did they misstate their education? •  Etc.

#3 Invest in Your People

•  If people feel that they are learning and growing through being with your company, they are far more likely be more happy and engaged in their jobs.
