Hiring Employees: Why You Should Hire People, Not Skills
Posted 11th of November 2019 by Keri JaehnigAbout the Author Keri Jaehnig
I am the Founder and CEO of Idea Girl Media, an international Social Media Marketing Agency that works with business brands & public figures. We design customized marketing campaigns, online asset strategies and do social media speaking & training. In 2021 I was named a Top 100 Marketing & Advertising Leader - a global honor. My work earned back-to-back top social media marketing campaign awards for state tourism and I am humbled to be a Small Business Influencer. I've also received commendation for Outstanding Attainment in Social Media from the Senate of the State of Ohio. You may have seen my professional insight featured at Social Media Today, Forbes, Business Insider and other top marketing blogs. Non-fat lattes, travel & quick wit make me smile, and I am always enthused to meet new people! Want to know how I got the nickname, Idea Girl?

9:23 PM Companies change. Products evolve. Approaches get thrown out the window. The centrifugal force alone of that kind of rapid development is enough to throw anyone off center. Throughout my experience, one guiding rule on team building in fast-moving companies has emerged: hire people, not skills.
