Jesse Genet is the founder and CEO of Lumi, the end-to-end platform for packaging supply chains, which was recently acquired by Narvar. Jesse and I actually worked together previously where I helped build out her teams at Lumi in its earlier days. Jesse is such a savvy entrepreneur and has had a knack for it since she was in high school. She emphasizes how crucial it was for her to place a large focus on the people-side of her business in order for it to flourish on a larger scale fast. In this episode, Jesse and I get into the importance of hiring the right person at the time, specifically the difference between hiring early on in your business versus during a more mature stage in your business. We also discuss how to build out a successful, tried and true hiring process, and why it’s so important for founders to take a step back when hiring and spend quality time assessing the type of role they need to fill before speaking to candidates.IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:Jesse’s background and how she started out as an entrepreneur in high schoolThe evolution of the hiring processThe important of hiring at the right time in your businessDefining the core value you want a new hire to embodyJesse’s experience with turnoverHow to realize a hire is no longer a fit for the role they’re inFighting the urge to fill a role for the sake of an urgent needCONNECT WITH JESSEFollow Jesse: @jessegenetFollow Lumi: @lumiLearn more: lumi.comWatch Lumi: youtube.com/lumiCONNECT WITH JACKIEFollow People Principles: @peopleprinciplesLet’s TikTok: @peopleprinciplesLearn more: peopleprinciples.co
