Recruit, Select and Retain the Right People - Right from the Beginning

Do you consider yourself a "systems thinker?" Yes?

As a business owner, a hiring manager, or a savvy recruiter you know there's crucial information you have to have when you're looking for new talent. Information that allows you to predict - with accuracy - just how successful a particular individual is likely to be in a specific system. Right?

So, besides the verifiable technical, educational and experiential requirements of a position, what else is important for you to know about a person to predict their "fit" in the position?

And, how are you gathering that data? What is it costing you - in dollars and man-hours - to get the data that way?

How would you rate your people's engagement with their work on a scale of 1-10?

What's your turnover rate? Have you calculated how much turnover is actually costing you this year? (Statistics have shown there's a 40% chance that a person in a new position will not continue successfully beyond the first year.) How are you figuring these trends into your hiring budget?

In other words, how is your current system working for you?

If I could offer you a way to

  1. Speed up your applicant screening process AND
  2. Increase the accuracy of your applicant matching to the realities of new and changing positions AND
  3. Guarantee that your candidates will be a right fit for the positions for which you're recruiting AND
  4. Solidify the employment relationship - once you make a hiring agreement - by setting a powerful context for full engagement and top performance…

…would it be of any value to you to take 30 minutes to hear about some work we've been doing?

If the answer is "yes," then please pick up the phone today and call (512) 491-0027 to make an appointment.

Job Modeling Services from Between the Lines

For the last five years, I have been using a unique set of tools and a surprisingly simple, reliable consulting and assessment process to give my clients information that allows them to recruit, select and retain top people for new and changing jobs with EXTRAORDINARY EASE.  And at a greatly reduced cost.

This process GREATLY

  1. REDUCES the amount of time the hiring manager needs to spend in first and second-level screening of applicants
  2. REDUCES the number of candidates the hiring manager ever needs to invite in for a FIRST interview
  3. INCREASES the probability that candidates with the right technical and educational qualifications will FIT into the existing system effectively. So they'll stay. And be happy. And highly productive.
  4. INCREASES the accuracy and replicability of your selection and on-boarding processes so you are working a system, not just hitting it lucky - or not.

"As a board member, I participated in modeling a new position as a way of hiring new staff for Leadership Austin. Between the Lines' approach was very helpful and had high face validity. 

The process helped us figure out that we had been a bit unrealistic in specifying requirements for the job. It helped us clarify expectations - the organization's and the Executive Director's - in a way that I predict will be helpful to everyone involved.

I believe the organization now has more realistic job expectations for this new hire. I also believe that he and the Executive Director will avoid some 'issues' working with each other that might otherwise have compromised the success of the position."
