José Elías, a prominent business figure, recently shared his insights on hiring practices during times of heavy workload on his social media account, X. His commentary has sparked discussions about the timing and strategy behind recruitment decisions in the corporate world.
Elías pointed out that many companies tend to hire additional staff only when overwhelmed with work, a strategy he believes is flawed. “Most business owners recruit when they are swamped with tasks. However, I do not think that is the optimal time to make hiring decisions,” he stated. He cautioned that when faced with a barrage of decisions, it becomes challenging to process them effectively.
According to Elías, losing control over decision-making can lead to significant errors. He stressed the necessity of evaluating the right moment for recruitment, advocating for a more calculated approach that aligns with the company”s actual needs. “Having a high volume of work means you are generating revenue, which is positive,” he added.
In his reflections, Elías emphasized that knowing whether a business maintains control can be determined easily. “If you can pay the salaries at the end of the month, the business is relatively under control. If you lack clear data, cash flow is a good indicator to assess the situation,” he concluded.
Elías”s comments highlight the importance of strategic planning in business operations, particularly as companies navigate the complexities of hiring and workload management.
