I hired a guy 10 years ago for $12/hour.
He was a hard worker, smart, friendly, and a team player.
All of the qualities I look for in a leader.
He was promoted from maintenance to customer service, to assistant manager, and now store manager.
Today, he makes over $120k/year
While everyone else is screening for WHAT someone has done, I’m screening for WHO they are as a person.
This matters most when hiring entry-level roles.
You get dozens of applications, so how do you choose who to hire?
Start by asking them a simple question: “What are your goals over the next 12 months?”
19 out of 20 won’t have a goal (and probably never set one in their life)
1 of them will tell you exactly what they are working towards and how they plan to achieve it.
Hire that guy.
We’re not in the auto repair business; we’re in the people business.
The better you can get at identifying raw talent, the faster your business will grow.
Cheers!
