Let me start with something unexpected… I don’t do interviews. Yes, you read that right. No long Q&A sessions, no tricky brain teasers, no intimidating interviews.
So, how do I find the right people? I focus on their goals.
Before anything else, I ask candidates to write down their personal goals. Why? Because great teams aren’t just built on skills—they’re built on dreams, motivation, and shared vision.
I ask them to write about:
✅ Income Goals– What’s their financial aspiration?
✅ Emotional Goals– What makes them feel fulfilled?
✅ Family Goals– What kind of life do they want for their loved ones?
✅ Travel Goals– Do they dream of exploring the world?
✅ Career Goals – Where do they see themselves in the future?
It’s not about how fancy the writing is; it’s about understanding what drives them. Because when you know what someone truly wants, you can align them with your company’s vision.
Once they submit their goal sheet, we sit and talk.No grilling, no stress—just a conversation.
I try to understand:
👉 What excites them about work?
👉 How do they handle challenges?
👉 What do they expect from this job?
This is where I assess sincerity and passion. A resume can only tell me so much, but a genuine conversation tells me everything.
Before onboarding, we make sure we’re on the same page.
We discuss:
✔️ Role & Responsibilities
✔️ Salary & Timing
✔️ Work Expectations
No surprises, no confusion—just clarity.
Once they’re on board, I trust them to do the job. I don’t believe in micromanaging. If I have to chase someone every day, they’re not the right fit. Instead, I create an environment where they take ownership and grow.
And guess what? This approach works.
✅ Our trainers have been with us since 2020.
✅ Some of our operations team members have been with us since 2019.
Because when you hire based on alignment, not just skills, people stay.
