# Finding The Right Talent

**Evidence type:** method (what we prescribe)

Alignment is a hiring outcome as much as a process outcome. The people who sustain it bring the functional skill, the experience of operating against a shared number, and a willingness to work across the boundary rather than defend it.

## Finding The Right Talent

Getting the Right People Hiring the right people is crucial for successful team alignment. Look for individuals with the skills, experience, and attitude that fit your company's culture and goals. Consider the following factors when evaluating candidates: 1. Technical Skills: Assess their proficiency in the tools and technologies used by your sales and marketing teams. 2. Communication Skills: Effective communication is vital for team collaboration. Look for candidates who can clearly articulate their ideas and collaborate with others. 3. Problem-Solving Skills: Sales and marketing teams often face challenges that require creative solutions. Evaluate candidates' ability to analyze problems and develop innovative solutions. 4. Adaptability: The business landscape is constantly changing, so it's essential to hire individuals who can adapt to new strategies and technologies. 5. Teamwork: Sales and marketing teams work closely together, so it's important to hire people who can collaborate effectively and contribute to a positive team dynamic. By carefully selecting the right people, you can create a strong foundation for team alignment and success.
