I'm recruiting. I need to expand my team. Steve Wooding of http://www.iceandlemon.com/ has suggested looking for a certain mindset first and not skills or experience. I need to look at my best people which means I'm looking for Sharons and Andreas. Sharon and Andrea have worked for Document Direct for more than a year and our clients love them. They are definately the stars of the show.
So, first and foremost, I am not looking for an audio typist. I'm looking for somebody who wants to be their own boss. Somebody who has a mindset to work hard and deliver great results for clients.
How do I find such people? Or, how can such people find me?

Difficult. But LinkedIn is a good source. There is a kind or related top LinkedIn category of individuals that accept all invitations. Because of that, if you invite some of the top people, when you search for people, you get more results.
Also, PeoplePool which is part of Business Liverpool do free recruitment.
And another source is your own email list. Email everyone you know and ask if they know anyone with the characteristics you need.
As always Ian, you're a great fount of knowledge for me. Steve will be helping me in my quest to hire those people with the desired characteristics. The first exercise is to define which characteristics I need! I suspect I shall be learning the greatest secrets of sucessful recruiting. So watch this space.
