Moxie Scouting for Talented Professionals to Join Its Team
The Moxie management team is currently searching for new professionals to join its team in a variety of positions. Morgan, the company President, revealed some of the secrets of finding great people.
ARLINGTON, TX , May 27, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Recently, Moxie has been growing at an ever-accelerating rate. This is excellent news for the firm; however, it also means that it is time to starting hiring new people. Morgan indicated that they want to add several new associates in a few different roles. She indicated that they are primarily looking at attitude and passion, not technical skill set.
“We are seeking extremely driven people to join our team,” she explained. “Our innovative training program allows us to bring on even the most inexperienced people. We pair them with mentors to ensure that they have everything needed for success. However, the one thing we can’t teach is passion for the work.”

Morgan, President
Morgan added that there are many opportunities for driven individuals at Moxie. The sales and marketing industry is a space in which people can really take control of their own futures. This is even truer at this experiential promotions firm because they advance people based on merit rather than seniority or politics.
“I encourage anyone who is interested to apply through our website,” Morgan said. “Prior experience is great but not a requirement.”
Moxie’s President Discusses Finding Talented People
According to Morgan, building the Moxie team has required a number of talent scouting strategies. One of the most significant has been focusing on the potential of the individual.
“So many hiring managers look at where a person is today,” she asserted. “In my opinion, it is far more important to consider where the individual will be in the future. Rather than skill set, I look for passion and insight. People who naturally understand others tend to be extremely effective in our industry.”
This approach requires choosing the right types of questions. Rather than quizzing candidates on their knowledge, Morgan asks them to tell stories about work experiences. These tend to illustrate whether the candidate has the personality traits she is seeking. She also has them interact with existing team members to see if they are a good fit.
“I think another important aspect of recruiting is reflecting on the need,” Morgan concluded. “We have spent a significant amount of time simply analyzing where we need more help and why. This approach has ensured that we aren’t looking for people who won’t really benefit our firm. Every one of our hires is a significant addition to the company and its culture.”
