ESPO Corporation
Technical Staffing, Business Support and Engineering Solutions since 1965
Hiring for a brand-new position isn’t just about filling a gap; it’s a bold move that can redefine your company’s future and drive innovation, but without a clear strategy, it can lead to uncertainty and missed opportunities.
At ESPO, we specialize in helping companies navigate complex hiring situations, including filling newly created positions. Our latest blog breaks down a step-by-step strategy to ensure your new hire thrives:
? Define the Business Need – What problem does this role solve? ? Separate Must-Have vs. Nice-to-Have Skills – Avoid the unrealistic “unicorn” wish list. ? Benchmark Compensation & Expectations – Stay competitive while ensuring internal equity. ? Stay Flexible – Be open to evolving the role based on top talent. ? Onboard with Purpose – Set clear goals, assign mentors, and check in regularly.
?? Pro Tip: The right candidate might not check every box on paper, but adaptability, initiative, and problem-solving skills can be just as valuable!
