Are You Hiring Talent or Non-Talent?

Over the years, I have learned a lot about the hiring process, including how to spot the difference between talent and non-talent, which I will go over today. 

 
 

As the owner of a real estate brokerage and a real estate sales team, I have had the unique opportunity to learn a lot about hiring. One thing that I’ve learned is the difference between non-talent and talent, which I would like to share with you today. 

Non-talented people have to be pushed to get the answers, while talented people will push for solutions. Non-talent won’t fulfill your needs; sometimes, they may end up giving a piece of their job back to you.

Talent will share your goals and fulfill your needs while fulfilling their own at the same time. In other words, when you hire a talented person, it’s like giving someone a potato and getting French fries back. If you give a non-talented person a potato, you will just get a potato in return.

TALENT WILL PUSH YOU TO BE BETTER.

Non-talents are not sure what they want and they aren’t necessarily searching for what they want, while talent knows what they want and are actively searching right now. Non-talent will wait for you to push them, while talent will push you, and that’s a great thing. 

There are a few other things I’ve learned about the hiring process that I would love to share with you. We have a training event coming up soon, so you can register here to learn more about the hiring process. 

In the meantime, just give me a call or send me an email with any questions. I would be happy to help you!
