Wit Twin Cities's Podcast

We have all, I’m sure, heard about the mythical purple squirrel of hiring - that person who has the right qualities, skill sets, and compensation needs to fit your team. We all have the potential to be someone’s purple squirrel - and knowing that, we should also be looking for the purple squirrelness of the company that wants to hire us. In our conversation with Amber Goodrich of Purple Squirrel Staffing, we talk about the power of LinkedIn and interviews, how to shine a light on your purple squirrelness if you are not an extrovert who shows up well on paper, how, as a hiring manager, you can be more inclusive in your sourcing and interviewing, as well as how working with a recruiter can help whether you are the candidate or the hiring manager. Amber also gave us some great pointers for what to think about when the inevitable questions come up about salary and compensation. This episode should help get you thinking about what you offer as a purple squirrel and what a purple squirrel role looks like to you.
