Please join Bridget Dueweke, Senior Vice President of Sales for Wolverine Solutions Group (a third-generation family business); Todd Hohauser, CEO at Harvey Hohauser & Associates; and David Shaw, Publishing Director, Family Business Magazine, for a 60-minute discussion on best practices for recruiting non-family executives.
Hiring outsiders into a family business can pose unique challenges. How you identify, select and integrate a non-family executive can have a big impact on the success of the hire.
During this webinar, participants will learn best practices for recruiting executives into family-owned entities by focusing on:
- Understanding the six dimensions of the family businesses.
- Integrating the Baker three-circle model into the recruitment process, including creation of an applicable position description.
- Using the core values of the business and the family to define desired behavior patterns, knowledge, skills and abilities of candidates.
- Identifying the position of the business in its lifecycle to properly match executive candidates.
- Defining the process of onboarding and integration of the finalist candidate.
