In the following video I go through the first challenge of building a team that all managers have experienced to a degree.

And when you realise this, much of your mystery in hiring and building a team will start to unravel.

**Watch the below [video](https://performia.ontraport.net/c/s/6G3/Ujfr/v/nX/WZ7/6o3yxT/zNrAWf2mAe/P/P/34) where I cover the following and provide some ideas and understanding to apply to your hiring and team results;**

- The four different scenarios
- Which one is the BEST?
- Hiring off resumes…or not
- Spotting fantastic candidates your competition is missing
- Which one is the most expensive?
- Structuring salary and not blowing your wage budget
- What to do with busy people and no results
- The best hiring outcome for your business
- How to lower the cost of your hiring
- The obvious versus LESS obvious choice
