As a CEO, making the right hire is crucial to ensuring your company runs smoothly, drives growth, and gives you more time back in your day. However, making the wrong hire can be detrimental to your business and have the opposite effect. I recently worked with a CEO who was experiencing analysis paralysis over this. He was concerned that hiring the wrong person would upend his company culture and derail everything he's worked so hard for. What CEOs/hiring managers should expect from their recruiting partner: - a trusted advisor & sounding board who isn't afraid to be honest and push back when necessary - someone who sells the company and opportunity authentically - a partner who optimizes your recruiting strategy and guides the hiring team on how to best screen for their optimal new hire - and, of course, someone who puts candidate experience first 🥇 Our simple but intentional approach is why our clients are happy - they've seen massive growth and improvements in their businesses because of our candidates they've hired. It's a win all around. #CEO #hiring #trustedadvisor

This is Ysabelle, our CHRO for 2 years now. She threw away our hiring playbook. 🤷♂️😂 ❌ Stopped interviews until after a test. ❌ Ignored resumes. ❌ Didn't care about past experience. Why? Because it didn’t matter. We created chaos. And tripled our client retention. Our new hiring process? Pure madness: a challenge of wits & perseverance. Candidates get: ⛔ Blank templates ⛔ Zero instructions 😵💫 Brief activity details We ask for specific results. Then we watch. ❌ 95% crumble. ❌ Ask for help or give up. ❌ Need hand-holding. But 5%? They thrive. ✅ They figure 💩 out ✅ Find creative solutions ✅ Deliver results, not excuses We hire them on the spot. Why does this work? Because in the real world: • Clients don’t give clear briefs • Problems lack instructions • Success demands figuring things out Old process: • 300+ resumes • 50+ interviews • 20 hires • 5 rockstars (if lucky) New process: • 300 challenges • 15 interviews • 15 hires • 15 rockstars Results? ☑️ Productivity up 300% ☑️ Client satisfaction at an all-time high ☑️ Client retention tripled in 18 months Here’s what we learned: 1️⃣ Skills can be taught. Problem-solving is innate. 2️⃣ Best team members create SOPs. 3️⃣ Chaos in hiring leads to performance clarity. 4️⃣ Traditional hiring is broken. 5️⃣ Filter for problem-solvers to build leaders. It’s scary to abandon the old ways. To trust chaos over structure. But remember: Your company’s future isn’t built on who looks good on paper. It’s built on who performs under pressure. ❌ Stop hiring based on resumes. ✅ Start hiring based on the ability to "figure 💩 out".
