Episode 329: Your Dream Hire Is Already Employed: Here’s How to Win Them Over

In this episode, Molly reveals how to attract high-performing talent that’s already winning somewhere else. She shares proven strategies for identifying where top executive assistants are hiding, crafting outreach that speaks to their ambitions, and positioning your firm as a destination for growth-driven professionals. With actionable steps and mindset shifts, Molly shows how to turn your hiring process into a magnet for excellence and alignment.

Key Takeaways:

• Focus on industries and environments where your ideal executive assistants currently thrive, such as legal, financial, and tech services.

• Craft personalized messages that speak to the ambition and vision of potential hires, rather than just their resume.

• Leverage video platforms to create engaging and direct outreach messages to candidates, maximizing impact and authenticity.

• Look beyond traditional job platforms like LinkedIn. Explore Facebook groups, Slack communities, and professional networking groups for promising talent.

• Approach hiring as offering an opportunity for growth and vision, not just filling a position. Align potential candidates with your company's values and future roadmap.
