Hiring new employees costs businesses money, from the downtime of having a vacancy, to the people who are involved with spending their time trying to fill the position by screening and hiring a new candidate.
Hiring employees who don't work out can cost up to 10% of that employee's annual salary, so it's crucial that when you hire someone, you go through all the necessary steps to ensure it's done right the first time.
Checking references is your goldmine for verifying a potential employee's performance and fit for your job. In a reference check, you can learn more about what it was like working with your candidate, which helps you understand and determine if the candidate will be a good fit for the role, your business, and the culture of your company.
The Power Interview Guide is a 30-minute review of your candidate's past work history and accomplishments that allows you to learn about everything you've ever wanted to know about a candidate in a timely manner. The guide provides a repeatable and objective method to follow for interviewing any candidate for any position and industry so you can quickly decide if they're a fit for your business or not.
We discuss all the tips and tricks for effectively screening a candidate's resume, so you can breeze through them, able to highlight the main points and effectively select only top performers.

We've all heard about or read single's ads, yes? The single bachelor seeks his perfect match for long walks on the beach and a shared interest in wine tasting.
When you're hiring a new candidate, you're essentially doing the same thing, except instead of long beach walks and wine tasting it's more like shared interest in impeccable customer service and a clean inbox.
We discuss the differences between job descriptions and job advertisements, how to write both, and how to identify your ideal candidate by strategically creating a list of a ideal candidate qualities that match your job opportunity.

We discuss the importance of hiring smarter by making recruiting a top priority, ensuring you have a strong opportunity to offer your candidates, and fully understanding your ideal candidate in order to win the war on talent.
