Unique Challenges of That Very First Experienced Hire

David C. Baker, expert marketer and Workamajig consultant knows what it’s like to hire someone experienced for the first time. 

Here, we have a synopsis of David’s words of wisdom:

When you’re just starting out, you likely can’t afford top talent, so you take the approach of “hire young and hungry” and train them up over time. As your firm grows, you reach a point where this either becomes too time-consuming or ineffective. In other words, you need to hire for real experience. That first experienced hire can be daunting, often because your expectations are so high. In fact, your first experienced hire will many times become a sacrificial lamb. There are a few things you should watch out for during this process to give this new employee the greatest chance at success.

Feature Releases

We’ve upped the ante in time sheets!

Until now, you either had the right to edit everyone’s timesheets or did not have the right to edit anyone’s timesheet. 

Many of you have asked that we reconfigure this so that timesheet approvers only have the right to edit the time sheets of the people they are designated to approve.

So, we did exactly that.

Until next month,
