It's one of the biggest mistakes if as an employer you employee /hire similar to you if they are not qualified for the position, but if they are qualified you can hire them with limitation to avoid nepotism. Hiring people of different cultures brings a lot of competitiveness, people from different places bring diverse skills which can help the company grow.  

  • Thanks dear for calling .. I try as much as possible to attract qualified employees with experience or ambitious people who have the desire to progress and development and not from the mistake of attracting something similar to us and prepared to replace us someday I trust in myself greater than the fears of this sentence.

Dear Alia, 

Have a good day, 

There are two espects of this phrase if you are hiring a person like you, so it would be easy for you to handle him but on the other side you have to hire a new mind who will bring some enovative ideas.
