What if you had a manageable process for hiring that didn’t take forever to execute?
Your business is expanding right before your eyes.
You need to hire someone, like, yesterday. You want to step up and grow your business the way you imagined when you started this money-making adventure.
It’s time to scale. It’s time to capitalize on your hard work and success. You want to assemble the best team possible to deliver your ideas out into the world.
More than anything you want an unstoppable team to take this ball of energy and momentum and bust through to higher profits.
And yet you’re resistant. Adding people to your team is a headache.
You’re anticipating the pitfalls. Is hiring even the right thing for your business? Can you scale some other way? Can you even handle the expense?
You’re worrying over the details and the process. It takes forever. You can already see yourself combing through a huge stack of mediocre resumes. It’s a black hole you cannot afford to get sucked into right now.
You’re plenty busy. Your business needs you. And everything is about to grind to a halt in pursuit of that one elusive person.
The hiring process is a prime source of stress for you and your team.
It’s like a sixth sense. You can feel your team feigning interest. They’re busier than normal these days, too. And while you stop to interview lackluster candidates and comb through resumes looking for that perfect candidate (that you’re beginning to suspect doesn’t exist), they’re missing your steady presence.
On top of it, they’re not interviewers. They love being part of the process, but haven’t been trained on the finer points.
The whole thing puts people on edge. Your team wants this to be over so they can get back to work. And so do you.
You’re forced into making mistakes that cost a lot of freaking money.
Maybe it’s happened before. You’ve hired someone you thought was a winner only to find yourself back at square one 6 months later.
It costs you money every time. Stopping to recruit costs money. The time it takes away from developing new business opportunities costs money. And then actually hiring the new person costs you gobs of money.
People are your number one expense. And probably always will be. And you know in your bones that no single decision can have more of an influence on your bottom line. You know that the right people can catapult your profits into the stratosphere.
You hear stories of darling employees. The kind who go to war for their companies. Who make smart business decisions that help alter direction for the better. The kind who aren’t scared. The linchpins of the world.
You’re just not connecting with the right people. You’re not finding the right fit for your vibe, your ideals, your culture.
Meanwhile you’re drowning in work and need to find people to delegate to.
I know how you feel.
The same problems haunted the management consulting business I was part of. Every painful money-squandering second of it.
We made some poor hiring decisions. We added business partners that boxed up funds and added very little in terms of revenue or spark. We had to get lawyers involved on two occasions.
There are people who give energy, and those who taketh away. Guess which ones we specialized in?
They sucked the life out of me and my co-workers and made the work we love a lot less fun.
Until we stopped letting them.
We adjusted our hiring process and guess what happened?
Our attrition rate fell to around 5%.
Almost overnight we began to attract employees that felt right.
They loved us and stood up for us (because we invested in them).
Our customers noticed.
The work improved.
New business opportunities sprouted up.
We were happier.
The work we love became exciting again.
All because we made small adjustments and built a dependable system for hiring.
Our clients were experiencing the same problems we were. We heard similar themes over and over. Not only themes, but exact issues.
So we shared what we learned. And they saw similar results.
I started to think we were on to something.
The problem and the solution are one.
Maybe you can relate to these problems, too?
-
The slow drag of hiring.
The disappointment of not finding what you want.
The money squandering.
The employees that suck up energy and resources.
The anxiety to your team.
Maybe you’ve got a system, but it’s full of gunk. Your system is backfiring.
Your system is the problem.
Your system is also the solution.
With this in mind, I wondered if I could make hiring better.

What is it?
Hiring Gold is self-guided course on how to build a strategic hiring process that fits your business. It is delivered as audio and video files (+ transcripts) directly to your inbox. The pace of learning is up to you.
With Hiring Gold, you have a hiring process that doesn’t take forever to execute. You can do this in eight weeks, start to finish. I’ll show you how to plan each week and work on a little a day (with a few days of concentrated activity here and there). The process is built to be completed in 60-90 days, tops.
Knowing how to prioritize tasks will free you up to spend only the time you need to get the job done, nothing more. When you know exactly what to work on next at every stage in the game, you’re less likely to get dragged into resume hell. Spend only the time you need and get on with your day.
Have a clear step-by-step plan for hiring that you’ll actually implement. Planning is everything. Knowing how your project is going to go up front is a great pre-indicator of success. Plan your hiring projects just as you would a major client project.
Empower your employees to be an essential piece of the hiring puzzle. Hiring Gold is designed to be shared. It’s a guide that anyone can use either in pieces or as a complete system. As you learn the process for yourself, you’ll be able to share it with your employees and teach them best practices.
Hiring Gold will show you how to use the hiring process to spread your message and enhance your culture. How many other times in the life of your business do you actively spread your message to hundreds of eager new eyes and ears? And yet, hiring is often not viewed as a marketing tool. What if the hiring process could bolster your marketing efforts and create buzz around your business? It’s possible.
Hiring Gold is easy to follow, easy to implement — and it looks good, too. You’ll probably have to refer to Hiring Gold over and over, so why not make it sexy? It’s full of illustrations and photos to make the learning more interesting.
