Circle Meeting 7: Finding, Hiring, and Retaining Talents
**Date:** Dec 26, 2024
**Time:** 6pm
**Location:** Coffee Bar Buro, 10 Water St, Vancouver
Join us for our next session of the **Vancouver Entrepreneurs’ Hurdles & Solutions Circle**, where we will focus on **Finding, Hiring, and Retaining Talents**.
As entrepreneurs, we face similar challenges and obstacles, but how we navigate these issues can vary based on our experiences and knowledge. In this group, we discuss our current hurdles and share our approaches to overcoming them. This is a space where you can explain the difficulties you're facing and receive valuable insights from fellow entrepreneurs who have encountered similar issues.
Our goal is not to dictate what you should do but to offer a range of perspectives and solutions that have worked for others. For instance, if you're struggling with making your sales team achieve their goals, we’ll discuss how different members set KPIs, manage sales funnels, and use motivation techniques.
In this meeting, we’ll delve into the strategies and challenges associated with building a strong team. We won’t provide direct solutions but will discuss and explore experiences on the following topics:
- **Talent Sourcing:** Where do you find potential candidates, and what methods do you use for recruitment?
- **Determining Compensation:** How do you determine competitive salaries and compensation packages for your hires?
- **Shares/Options as Incentives:** How do you use shares or options as incentives to attract and retain top talent?
- **Getting Results:** What strategies do you employ to ensure that your hires deliver the desired results?
- **Stars vs. Regular Employees:** How do you manage and differentiate between high performers and average employees?
- **Knowledge Transfer:** How do you ensure effective knowledge transfer from new hires to the rest of the team?
- **Grow vs. Buy:** Do you prefer to develop talent internally or hire experienced professionals? What’s your approach?
Prepare to share your experiences, challenges, and strategies related to talent acquisition and management. This is a collaborative space to discuss what has worked for you and learn from others’ insights.
**Meeting Guidelines:**
1. **Share Your Challenges:** Discuss the difficulties you face in finding, hiring, and retaining talent and how you address them.
2. **Respect Confidentiality:** Keep shared information within the group and respect the privacy of others.
3. **Engage Respectfully:** Participate in discussions constructively and with respect for differing perspectives.
4. **Optional Anonymity:** Feel free to join the discussion without revealing personal or business details if you prefer.
**Please Note:** This is a free event, and we are not selling products, services, or consulting. Our goal is to learn from each other and build a supportive community.
We look forward to a dynamic discussion and gaining valuable insights into managing talent effectively!
