Men make or break a team. Most of the founders of SME businesses should focus on this. There are some founders, who will make it a point to meet every new selection however big the team is. It is to ascertain the quality of men that are employed in the organization. Founders have a vision, a passion about their company and they want to share it with their employees. Nothing will beat a passionate employee. Shivaji was able to build the empire from scratch and it was not just on the basis of paid soldiers. The soldiers were willing to do anything for their King and this is the best that can happen. If we could share our vision with the employees and they become a part of it, then the team that comes up is the best.
There are often considerations of remunerations that come up before making a decision and it is often preferred to get a cheaper employee. It is often considered that money saved is money earned. While this is true, you must not underestimate the long term picture and the value that the employee will bring in the long term. Often the long term value that the right candidate can bring in is great and it will beat the cheaper option 'hands down'. The employee cost has to be considered as an investment rather than expense.
Better employees bring in better systems, better work culture and this helps in the growing of the company. Ford said, 'Honesty does not come cheap' and it is true. How can you expect honesty from a hungry person? If the employees are satisfied they will take care of your company like their own. I have seen some employees, who cannot hear another word about their company. You can also look for good placement agencies who have a big database of employees. Instead of looking at the cost to be given to agencies, you should look at the value they offer.
