Tips.
Training the right person beats chasing a license. Assessments help.
When hiring feels slow, it is often because business owners limit themselves to “licensed only” candidates. A license tells you someone passed a test. It does not tell you how they communicate, handle pressure, show up consistently, or serve customers. Instead, he focused on personality fit first and used assessment data to identify candidates with the traits to succeed in a service role.
