How to manage your team #18: Recruiting
Even if you’re fully satisfied with your team, keep talented recruits in orbit. Stay in touch with candidates who could be good additions when needed.
As a team leader, it’s your job to be calm when someone leaves your team. Although others may panic, you should reassure your teammates others are available, you have a plan and everything is under control.
If targets of your recruiting are working part-time at the moment, occasionally throw them a freelance project and get them used to your culture to test if they are “getting it.” You never know when you will need them.
