Recruiting and hiring the right people is critical to the success of any lab. Lab managers need to learn the skills to effectively design the right positions, differentiate candidates, conduct interviews, and hire the right individuals. This is a big and important responsibility, and many new hiring managers can benefit from more guidance and support.

Modern lab work is done in teams. The science is too complex and the outcomes too important for lone individuals to make sufficient progress. Bringing new people into the team is a delicate balance of finding candidates with the right approach and skills, and the attitude and personality to contribute positively to the team.
