How to Grow Your Team Without Losing Culture w/ Jane Lockwood

Talent Hunters

One of the greatest threats to company culture is growth. Even though expansion is usually a good thing, it’s easy to rock the status quo and lose your grasp on culture as you bring more people.

This gives growing companies a huge challenge: how do you make sure employee 6 and employee 206 have the same experience? It’s all about building a culture that can accommodate growth without getting diluted right from the start.

It’s also about having the right filter for talent and making sure that culture is felt from the first interview. How do you create the right hopper for talent? Can tech replace a human in the recruiting process?

How do you make sure your company lives up to what people experience in interviews? In this episode, I’m joined by the Chief Operating Officer at Daemon, Jane Lockwood. She shares how they are maintaining culture in a high growth business and their approach to recruiting.
