Have you ever been frustrated with the traditional hiring process? Where gut feelings and limited information resulted in a measly 50% accuracy hire rate? What if we walked you step-by-step through a better way - that is not our own - But it’s based on the book called "Topgrading" by Bradford D. Smart, which dives even deeper into this topic.

In this podcast episode, Jim Hacking and Tyson Mutrux invite Kristen Weiss (from Tyson’s team) to discuss hiring practices and the top grading principles. Kristen shares her experience as a recruiter and the frustrations she faced before implementing the top grading process. 


A few key takeaways are:
➡️ the importance of involving multiple people in the hiring process
➡️the importance of not rushing the process as hiring in haste can lead to wasted time, money, and resources 
➡️automated emails that outline the steps and expectations
➡️ recruiting mentally tough individuals who were fully committed to the firm
➡️the hiring process. And the best part? It works!

So, if you're tired of making hiring mistakes and want to find the perfect fit for your team, we highly recommend giving this episode a listen and “see” the Topgrading hiring principles in action. Don’t forget to grab the book here!
