I've noticed several post in this group requesting both paid and volunteer staff. It has been said, "hire slow - fire fast." What is the process you use in hiring staff? What criteria do you follow?
Here are some suggestions:
1. Look for character and integrity first.
2. Look for a person who beliefs align with the organization.
3. Look for someone who is both experienced in the task you are hiring for and a learner (educated but on a "continuous education program").
4. Look for someone who is committed. Committed to their relationships. Committed to live well for God. Committed to work AND to rest. Committed to the people they will serve. Committed to care for themselves.
5. Look for someone who is a good fit for the team. This begins with you (if you are hiring). YOU need to know yourself, know your team and know what will be a "good fit" for the chemistry of the team.
