We were lucky to catch up with Sandra N recently and have shared our conversation below.
Sandra, appreciate you joining us today. Talk to us about building your team? What was it like? What were some of the key challenges and what was your process like?
Oh From Day one it just ME! lol, When I started my business, I didn’t think too far out in the future with regards to expansion or growth. And I certainly wasn’t thinking about the work load either. But as time progressed and the work became more demanding, I started feeling a bit stretched, working crazy hours, not getting enough sleep and once the feeling burnt out started, I had to revisit the idea of building a team. Building my team was definitely a new experience for me, but well worth the process.
My first initial team member I found through social media, which went amazing, the process was seamless and worked out great.
First time doing an interview was a bit strange, but I had my questions written down for the candidate which worked out well. However now, we’ve grown more as a company using some different new tactics when it comes to recruiting, we do in-person training or virtual training based on the location of the employee.
If i was to start over today, I honestly wouldn’t do anything different, well maybe the team building a bit sooner than later.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
