Attorney Mark Hudson presented “Think Before You Hire” at 1 Million Cups (1MC) in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, February 27.Mark’s presentation was centered on the idea of competency-based hiring, evaluating potential employees based on technical, knowledge, behavior, and interpersonal abilities. Hiring employees, especially for early-stage companies, should be about culture fit and making sure, as an organization, you know what you need in an employee beyond just a set of skills or a level of experience.A video of Mark’s presentation was streamed live by the 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids Facebook page, and can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/1MCICR/videos/269951707233247/.About Mark HudsonMark Hudson is an Attorney and Senior Vice President at Shuttleworth & Ingersoll, P.L.C.
