“Back then when we looked at hiring a talent🎓, we chose their CVs 📜 with a focus on scaling the company, the fastest way possible. But looking back & learning from the experience, I understand now that choosing candidates 👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓 who share the same beliefs & values as our brand is a more effective approach to building a solid foundation for a team 👭👬👫

It’s a lot easier to nurture a team 👭👬👫 that shares the same passion for the success 👍🏻 of the brand.
