An organizational leader knows the business inside and out, knows the bottom line and how money is made in the organization, and knows how to show others in the organization how to lead with the business in mind. However, it’s not all about the business, it’s about growing a strong culture of leadership, accountability and loyalty. When looking to hire any candidate who could have the potential for leadership within your organization, you must look for this mindset and also a track record of progressive individual growth, such as self education, community-oriented efforts, professional growth trajectory and a strong vision for a long-term role at your company. Why do we have the mindset to hire leaders from within your business? Really, whenever you’re selecting a candidate to hire in your business, this idea should be in the back of your mind. As your business grows and employees grow in seniority, you will start to see natural leadership traits forming in individuals. The key here is to identify this early and not let it stagnate. As soon as an employee gets comfortable in a role (of course we mean when they have been identified as leaders you can hire from within your business), you should look at another role for them in the company. Put them in a broad range of roles, preferably with greater responsibility in each role, and once they have a holistic view of how the company runs then some senior leadership role may be a reward worth providing to them. If you’re looking for a leader immediately, then you may not have the convenience of time to groom a leader within your organization. This is when it helps to have a strong network and some professional support in finding a leader. There are many organizations that are training individuals to be a leader just like what was described above; however, there is not a visible and progressive succession framework in the organization which creates a lot of well trained leaders with no where to go. Both of these situations can be very advantageous to you when you’re looking to hire a leader. Leadership So what do we mean by leadership? Within an organization the objective is to move that organization forward under a unified goal or vision. This vision cannot be attained with solid leadership. Therefore, as it employees individuals, the company must bring in those who align with the vision and move the strategy forward into action. And at the end of the day, what a growing, successful company needs from all its leaders is: the skill of solid decision-making; the ability to make things happen through influence; the ability to persuade others of their objectives; and finally, the skill to motivate people to act independently in line with the objectives of the organization. There are many other traits that are valuable, but these are some of the key traits that will help your organization grow through solid leadership. When you hire leadership from within the organization, individuals who are skilled at doing your business and already are aligned with your vision and strategy, you’re going to gain momentum in your business faster and quicker. While this isn’t always possible, Elite Executive can work with you to determine where the best candidates might be and how best to bring up a leader from within your business or from another similar business.

Currently, in many countries there is a shortage of qualified engineers to fill roles that require the skill an engineer can bring. Not only is this a challenge, but when an engineer looks at your organization, they ask: “what can this company do for me and where will it bring me in the future?” You’ll need to consider this and other questions prior to starting your search for an engineer. Create a culture that is engineer friendly. Engineers are certainly after the best possible salary, but you may be able to draw in talent when you go after big picture projects that are appealing to the engineering mind. Projects that could attract engineering talent could include, large-scale, world-renowned projects that draw a lot of attention to engineering infamy. Other projects are those which could grant your company a patent or a market share advantage, giving credit and sharing in the reward for these types of projects will sustain engineering talent in your organization and attract others from the profession. Ensure that the work is going to be challenging for the caliber of engineer you hire and ensure there is freedom for thought, creativity and innovation. There are a lot of roles that are great for junior and learning engineers, but which will not attract the talent that you’re looking for in intermediate or senior engineers. When planning projects, ensure that an experienced engineer is setting the levels of effort and skill required in the roles you’re looking to fill in that project. According to Angel.co : To have a chance at attracting engineers, you need to know what a typical engineer is looking for (beyond compensation): Opportunity — Engineers need to know they’ll be making an impact, and will be moving forward in their career—both in terms of skills and finances. Challenge — Top engineers want to be working on very difficult problems that they can grow from and point to as achievements for the rest of their career. Community — Engineers want to work in a supportive environment where their thoughts are valued by their teammates. Over 50% of engineers say they would take less pay to work for a company with a fantastic culture or brand. Compensation beyond salary: Education, opportunities, cutting edge problems to solve, Know your stuff. If you’re a manager or solo business owner hiring an engineer, you may need a consultation from a professional, certified engineer. And it may even be worth having that professional in the interview with you in order to ask and interpret the technical questions. This is also where an agency with skilled hr personnel specialize in hiring engineers and can help bring candidates who perfectly fit the role for which you’re hiring.
