Hey.

I dropped a free training showing how you can add hire a players with each, if you want access click here

In today’s newsletter we will go over the following:

  • The main frameworks around hiring

  • The step by step process

  • How to find A players

And a whole lot more

B2B Operational Idea of the Week

When you’re hiring someone in your company give them trial tasks.

Give them a task due in 3 hours and 24 hours

One checks for speed and the other checks for quality of work

Both are very important

Deep Dive

The main problems I see most agencies face when they want to hire are:

  1. Lack of volume being pushed

  2. Improper quality check system

  3. Having candidates be judged poorly

  4. Improper interview process

Each plays a role of shooting yourself in the foot time and time again

You may ask yourself why you need to hire

As Steve Jobs says "the most important thing you can do in business is to hire", this is the highest leverage task, look at for example Tim Cook, he brought on Tim Cook payed him a lump sum of money

But what has he made Apple throughout his lifetime? Probably 10X

Look at Amazon, Nike, Microsoft, Adidas, Blackrock, and more

They all are worth BILLIONS of dollars because they have a company visions that many people are willing to die at the stake for

Without people working towards their goal, they wouldn't be worth Bs

Probably only a few Ms

And as you scale, face it, you can't work more and more hours

Which is why you need to hire 1,2, even 4 A players, that share the same culture, work ethic, and interests

And you'll be able to run laps around teams that have 20-50 C players

Ask yourself the question

"If I want to have a team of a players in my company, what would I need?"

This is crucial simply because of the law of attraction, you probably think you need these processes and what not, and while thats true

You need to actually be a company that can ATTRACT these a players

If you set yourself up to attract them then this will help the process overall

Similar to if you want to catch butterflies, you can grab each one by one, use a net, or have a garden that passively attracts them

We both know which is the best

Now that we know we actually need to attract, we need to lay the foundations to ensure we yield the greatest returns

Think of this as a net, the bigger the net, the more we can attract and get in one swipe

Same input, but more output

This allows us to hire more a players

At the end of the day the only reason why you can't hire a players

Is either a skill issue or you just need to ram more volume

And ramming more volume means you need the proper skill to do so

Because it doesn't matter how many times you swing your net if you don't catch any butterflies

It's about swinging your net and getting the most out of each swing

But if you have more volume and candidates to pick from, sifting through all of them to find that one gem, that one a player can be easy to find

Think of if this way, Apple can easily find a players because they get 1000s of people that apply for their jobs

It's hard not to find ONE good person who can excel at their craft

Then we follow this process when hiring:

  1. Define the Role: Clearly outline what you need and ensure there's enough work. Focus on culture fit over skills, as skills can be taught.

  2. Set Timeline: Avoid delays; hire within 3 weeks by working efficiently.

  3. Prepare Resources: Have necessary tools ready, like Google Forms, Calendly links, interview frameworks, and onboarding processes.

  4. Post Jobs on Platforms: Use various platforms for outreach. Personal branding helps attract quality candidates.

  5. Quality Control: Filter candidates by rejecting those with unsuitable backgrounds. Use a Google Form for deeper assessment.

  6. Invite for Interviews: Contact top candidates for interviews, focusing on culture fit and gut feeling.

  7. Interview Outcome: Determine if the candidate is a cultural fit and skilled. Proceed with a trial task if positive.

  8. Trial Task: Assess speed, quality, and communication through short and extended tasks.

  9. Second Call: Confirm your gut feeling about the candidate before making an offer.

  10. Hire: Offer a contract, set expectations, and start the onboarding process.

Onboarding: Proper onboarding includes orientation, training, and familiarizing the new hire with company policies and values.

Then for finding these A players, use these platforms

  1. Upwork ($0/m)

  2. LinkedIn (No Fixed Cost)

  3. Indeed (No Fixed Cost)

  4. Onlinejobs.ph ($99/m)

  5. Skool ($0/m)

  6. Discord ($0/m)

  7. Facebook ($0/m)

  8. Instagram ($0/m)

  9. Twitter ($0/m)

These are what I’ve seen yield the greatest results

Hope this was helpful until next time,
