Hiring and onboarding… how often are you modifying your playbook?

Question

We have collectively changed our processes around hiring and onboarding almost annually at this point. We have grown an average of 20% YOY and this is constantly up for review. Just this year, we have built it out to still work when the company is “10x” where we are today (that would put us over $10MM). Has anyone else found themselves becoming more strict around who they bring into their team? How much do your core values affect your decisions in hiring? What unique things do you implement to make the process less “gut instinct”?

I would rather grow slowly with a strong team than grow quickly with a poor team. I would never hire someone who didn't adhere to my companies values and quality standards. I can see more growth with one very strong person rather than 4 bad ones.&nbsp;

Absolutely my hiring process evolved in the past 17 years.&nbsp; I am not involved at this time only if I were to bring on a management team member.&nbsp; For us core values is the most important along with attitude.&nbsp; At times we don't pay attention to the small signs and it always comes and bites us in the butt.&nbsp; Adding trusting your gut is important too.&nbsp; My body always tells me if something is off.&nbsp;&nbsp;
