“In addition to job responsibilities, we take things one step further,” Taylor remarked. “We look for individuals with specific core skills.” Due to the firm’s team culture, individuals who are assigned specific duties also have opportunities to assume additional roles and responsibilities. “For instance, we look for individuals who also have abilities in areas such as leadership and project management,” she added. “This allows people to fill specific roles, but it also gives them chances to expand their horizons. It’s exciting to be able to utilize your expertise while you are leading an exciting new campaign.”
Once the job has been defined, the hiring team assesses the applicant pool. “Our strategy is to locate a diverse set of candidates,” said the director. “We use the resources available on the Internet, but we also advertise in the trade publications. In addition, we send team members to college job fairs and seminars to meet with new grads. That way, we meet people with varying educational backgrounds and different levels of experience.”
The Dallas Standard’s Culture Fosters Hiring and Retention
Though it is important to find a candidate who fits the desired skillset, it is equally important to find someone who fits within the firm’s culture. “It is imperative that everyone be able to thrive within our environment,” said Taylor. “Applicants are invited to spend some social time with the team to make sure everyone is comfortable. We value team players here, not lone stars.”
“We live in the digital age, so most of our applicants expect to thrive in that type of environment,” said Taylor. “Here at The Dallas Standard, our business model supports that. As a result, our company has a higher than average retention rate.” Taylor and the management team understand that if they support a team-based setting with state-of-the-art tools and methods, the firm will also be equipped to meet the needs of the brands it represents. “Customers expect us to act like leaders in the digital age. Internally, we should too!” she said.
