Here Are The Biggest Mistakes YOU Can Avoid When Hiring Boutique Agencies
Hiring boutique agencies can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be a bit nerve-wracking if you’re not sure what to look out for. Over my career I’ve seen many businesses make mistakes when hiring, so today I’m here to help you avoid those pitfalls and find the perfect match for your business.
Not Considering Team Fit
First and foremost, it’s essential to consider team fit when hiring a boutique agency. While their skills and expertise are crucial, you want to make sure their work style, values, and personalities complement your team’s. A harmonious team dynamic is key to achieving success and getting the best results for your business. So take the time to find the right match, even if it means conducting multiple interviews.
This is by far one of the most important elements to be aware of. Even if the person you are interviewing is the best specialist in the world, if the two of you can’t work together, nothing else will matter.
Only Considering Local Agencies
While it may seem logical to only consider local boutique agencies, this can actually really limit your options and lead to missed opportunities. With the rise of remote work and virtual collaboration, it’s possible to work with highly specialized talent from all over the world. By setting geographical limitations on the agencies you can work with, you may miss out on the expertise and experience you really need.
Don’t make the mistake of only considering local agencies, expand your search and find the best fit for your business.
Not Doing Enough Research
One of the biggest mistakes startups make when hiring a small agency is not doing enough research. It’s important to thoroughly vet any agency before hiring them, as the wrong choice can lead to a lack of communication, missed deadlines, or subpar work. Take the time to look at the agency’s portfolio, read reviews from past clients, and ask for references. You want to make sure that the agency has experience in your industry and that their past work aligns with your goals.
