The Muse CEO shares 4 ways to make sure your good hires stick around

Kathryn Minshew knows a thing or two about recruiting talent.

As co-founder and CEO of the Muse, a career platform that helps millions of job seekers find their personal best companies and careers, Minshew has spent more than a decade observing what makes a good hire — and what makes a good hire stick around.

“My entire philosophy is that job search is a lot like dating,” Minshew says. “There are good matches for almost every candidate and almost every company, but not everyone is a match for each other — and that’s OK.”

With that in mind, Minshew and her team at the Muse are focusing on what she calls values-based hiring, and empowering both job seekers and employers to make smarter decisions about who they’re courting. That means allowing workers to search for available jobs based on the benefits they most desire, or what type of leadership team they’re looking for.
