Hiring strong but slightly underqualified staff and training them can help avoid turnover.
Look for candidates who can communicate and are a good cultural fit; then, offer needed training.
For new MSP sales hires to succeed, it’s important to have a defined sales and marketing process.
Hiring can be painful. Understand which skills translate most often into successful hires for MSPs – and which ones do not – then stick with those skill sets to avoid making a bad decision.
We all know how challenging it is to find high-quality help these days. That’s why retaining your top talent can be equally as important as choosing the right person to hire. To improve employee retention, consider the importance of outlining career progression
Finding the right candidate for your position goes beyond technical skills. Look for an understanding of the business model, a focus on customer service — and then build a bench.

One of the largest misconceptions that can be seen in current IT job seekers is realistic expectations evaluating a company’s career growth opportunities. Career growth can often be associated with a company’s size: the larger the organization, the more stable the enterprise, the more they can provide for their employees. This, however, isn’t always the case.
It’s normal to aspire for career growth, and employers want their employees to have large aspirations when they align with their business’ objectives, but candidates interviewing for a new job should tread lightly.
It is too often that candidates worry about listing “significant” items on their resume and ignore the “small things” that make a lasting impression on employers during the interviewing process. The smallest things are often the biggest things
