Making Great Hiring Decisions — with Asaf Navot of Home Made

Asaf is the Founder of Home Made – the biggest hybrid letting solution in the UK. His background is in management consulting with Bain and then an MBA at INSEAD. He’s now well into the founder lifestyle. 

Today, we go back 5 years to mid-2018. Asaf has just realised that a key hire he made to drive business development wasn’t working out.

The company was burning a bit of cash, and the growth he needed wasn’t happening. 

This was the first time that he’d had to fire someone. 

And in hindsight, it was nothing to do with the person. 

He hadn’t made a great hiring decision. 

It was his fault as a leader. 

In this episode we talk about,

• Common biases and mistakes made in the hiring process
• Cross-hiring from corporate to start-up… and how it never really works
• Essential traits in a candidate that will lead to a hiring success

Today, Asaf’s hiring process is resulting in key hires having a 90-95% chance of staying long-term. A success rate that is practically unheard of!

Tune in for more insights on how he got to this level of success.
