Your Hiring Process Isn't as Good as You Think

Mar 23

You believe your hiring process is solid. Maybe even really good.

But the data disagrees.

Answer this one question honestly: How many people have you hired in the past 12 months who failed to meet your expectations?

If your answer is more than one, you have a problem.

And your hiring process and skills are the reason.

Not bad luck. Not a shallow talent pool. Not the economy. It’s your hiring process and skills.

Here's what makes this hard to see: Familiarity masquerades as competence. You've run your current hiring process enough times that it feels natural, even comfortable. That comfort tricks you into believing it's working - even when the evidence says otherwise.

Shane Parrish calls this the Inertia Default in Clear Thinking. He also says this:

"Time is the ultimate currency of life."

Think about what that means in hiring terms.

Every underperformer you manage. Every role you repost. Every replacement you onboard. Every team member who quits because the wrong hire poisoned their environment.

That is lost time - your most valuable currency - being spent on consequences that a better hiring process would have prevented.

You don't have a bad luck problem. You have a skills and systems problem. And skills and systems can be fixed.

Here's the math that should make this an easy decision:

If you invest $1,500 in hiring coaching, I guarantee you will save a minimum of $12,000 - if you apply what you learn.

That's an 8X return.

And it’s conservative. I expect to save you $25-$50,000 during the twelve months after we work together. Depending on how many people you hire annually, the savings can compound to $100,000, $500,000, or more. I've delivered these results before. Repeatedly.

Pay $1,500 to get $12,000 back?

You should do that all day long.

The only thing standing between you and that result is the belief that your current hiring process and skills are good enough.

The data you have proves that’s not true.

Don't wait any longer. The fix is closer than you think. It starts with one conversation.

Isn't it worth 15 minutes to stop making bad, costly hiring decisions?
