If you get a craving for a tangerine one afternoon, but only can choose from a bowl of tennis balls painted orange, you're not going to get any citrus in you. You can hope (that's professional pretending) with all the imagination you can muster, but it still won't be an orange.

It seems inexplicable, doesn't it? You hire someone you think has the skills and experience to do the job, and then watch them suck up payroll while they fade to mediocrity. Or you hire someone you liked in the interview only to have them turn into some angry, poisonous person you wish would go away.

Well it's not inexplicable. Just hire 600 or so people over ten years in all kinds of jobs at all levels in a company, and you'll learn that there are fundamental mechanics for what happens during the hiring process. You will understand the pitfalls and the mistakes that can be made, so you'll lay out a very clear, very walkable path to hiring someone who can and will do the work. And if you use the path, you'll get to the destination (a high performing employee) 97 times out of 100.

Guess what? You don't have to wait that long to start cost-effectively hiring people with your work ethic, your values, and your sense of right and wrong. We'll gleefully help you apply 600+ hire's worth of experience to your very next hire, or give you the tools and systems to do it for yourself.
