The Problem Isn't YOU.

It’s Your Weak Hiring System.

You were never trained on how to hire employees effectively.  No one built you a system that consistently attracts top talent.

Without a hiring coach and proven process, even experienced leaders struggle. Each mistake costs $50,000+.

Right Now, In Your Business:  

Someone you hired 3 months ago still can't do the job.

Your top performer is quietly updating their LinkedIn.

You're about to hire another underperformer.

That open position is costing you $3,000/week in lost revenue.

Sound familiar?

According to Gallup, 82% of companies hire the wrong personThat means 4 out of 5 companies like yours, make hiring mistakes that cost time, money, and momentum.

As Jim Collins wrote in Good to Great: "The single biggest constraint on my organization's success is the ability to get and keep enough of the right people."

Your competition already knows this.  Every hire they make that's better than yours widens their lead.

How Our Hiring Coaching Program

Fixes Your Hiring System

(and stops costly hiring mistakes)

As your hiring coaches, we work side-by-side with you to implement our proprietary 3 A's Framework. We customize and build your hiring system based on your culture, roles, and goals.

 

This is the same proven system used by championship organizations, now adapted for businesses like yours.

ATTRACT Top Talent to Your Company

We coach you to:

•  Position your company as the employer everyone wants to join, not just another job.

•  Write compelling job posts that filter out unqualified players before they waste your time.

•  Build a talent pipeline that attracts high performers, even ones not actively looking.

ASSESS for Culture Fit, Skills, and Potential

We train you to:

•  Confirm pre-interview facts about players through structured screening.

•  Replace emotional decisions with data-driven interviews that prevent hiring mistakes.

•  Use proven assessment questions that reveal who players really are and how they'll perform.

ADD High-Performing Team Members

We help you:

•  Create onboarding playbooks with clear 30-60-90 day benchmarks.

•  Design exceptional first-day experiences that engage new hires immediately.

•  Accelerate time-to-productivity so new team members contribute faster.

This isn't theory.  This is the exact system we've used with Microsoft, Cisco, ConnectWise, and hundreds of businesses across multiple industries over 20 years.

 

Championship teams hire methodically and use data to make decisions.  With our coaching and customized system, you can do the same and avoid the hiring mistakes that drain your resources.

Peter Fidler

WCA Technologies, CEO

“We have saved tens of thousands of dollars using the Hire the Best system for every hire.  We are nice people, but sometimes you have to set aside your desire to help someone because the truth is… they’re not a match.  

Hire the Best enables us to be shrewd purveyors of top talent.”

“The return on investment with Hire the Best has been truly impressive.  It’s been a game changer for us.  I encourage you to do their Scouting SWOT on your hiring system.  At the very least, you’ll understand what’s needed.”

Pete Duenes

Compounded Nutrients, Co-Founder

“The first time I used the Hire the Best system, including their Talent Assessment, we hired an all-star employee.  That employee is still with us after a year and a half, and still thriving.  The hiring system allowed us to hire more systematically, and present ourselves as a very organized, highly professional place to work, which I believe is enticing.”

“We implemented Hire the Best company-wide years ago. With their help, multiple managers drastically changed how they confirmed an applicant's skillset, aptitude, and fit with our culture. These better hiring practices have helped fuel our rapid growth.”

Prashant Gajjar

Eclipse Networks, Senior Network Engineer

“I had a team of ten people. We struggled with high turnover and inconsistent performance. However, I implemented Hire the Best, which revolutionized our recruitment and team building. We quickly transitioned to unparalleled retention and top-notch performance. This system didn't just fill positions; it helped me build a solid, reliable team.”

David Romig

Forensic Advantage, Vice President

“As an early adopter of Hire the Best, I used the system to help build and eventually sell a very successful Microsoft consultancy. Going on 10-years later, I continue to leverage the principles as I grow and manage a vertical software company. Recognizing the best fit for each opening has resulted in effective, long-term contributors to our team.”

Nick Newell

Rival IT, CEO

We partnered with Hire the Best to strengthen our approach to attracting and evaluating candidates for both technical and account management roles. The impact has been very positive; clearer role definitions, a stronger hiring message, and a more efficient screening process have helped us build a higher-quality candidate pipeline. We’ve also saved significant time throughout the interview process. I recommend Hire the Best to any organization looking to improve its recruiting outcomes.

System that works forever = Strategic Advantage

See improvement in just 2 weeks

Our 60-Day Commitment To You

If you implement our system and don't see measurable improvement in your hiring process within 60 days, we'll continue working with you at no additional cost until you do.

What "measurable improvement" means:

•  Your interviews better confirm true fit.

•  You’re identifying candidate flaws that you previously missed.

•  Your new hires are contributing more quickly to team success.

We can make this guarantee because our system works.  We've used it successfully with Microsoft, Cisco, ConnectWise, and hundreds of businesses over 20 years.

You have nothing to lose and a high-performing team to gain.

Common Questions From Leaders Like You

"I don't have time to implement a new system."

That's exactly why we do most of the work for you.  Our team builds your custom system, you just need 30 minutes weekly for coaching calls and a couple hours for homework.  Most clients see improvements within 2 weeks.

"Will this work for my industry?"

Yes.  Our 3 A's Framework works for any industry, anywhere.  We've successfully implemented it with tech companies, professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and more.  The framework is universal, we customize the implementation to your specific culture and roles.

"What if I can't implement everything?"

You don't need to implement everything at once.  We prioritize the changes that deliver the biggest impact first.  Even partial implementation significantly reduces hiring mistakes.  If you need more time, you can extend your coaching engagement beyond 60 days.

"How is this different from hiring a recruiter?"

Recruiters find candidates.  We teach you how to build a system that attracts, assesses, and adds top talent forever.  You'll never need expensive recruiters again.  Plus, our $3,000 investment is a fraction of what one recruiter charges per hire ($15,000+).

"What if I only have 1-2 open positions right now?"

This system works whether you're hiring 1 person or 10.  Plus, you'll use it for every future hire and it helps reduce turnover on your existing team.  The ROI compounds over time.

"I've tried other hiring solutions before.  Why will this work?"

Most hiring solutions are generic templates or courses you're left to figure out alone.  We work WITH you through one-on-one coaching and custom implementation.  We do the heavy lifting, and we don't stop until you see results (that's our 60-day guarantee).

"Is this only for large companies?"

No. We work with businesses from $2M to $50M+ in revenue.  Whether you have 5 employees or 500, bad hires hurt.  Our system scales to your size and adapts to your growth.

"What happens after the 60 days?"

You get 24 months of ongoing support through our Hire the Best Academy including 50+ trainings, 100+ templates, live Q&A sessions with David Russell, and direct access to our support team.  You're never left alone.

"What if I'm not ready to hire right now?"

That's actually the best time to build your system.  When you DO need to hire, you'll be ready instead of scrambling and making mistakes under pressure.  Plus, a strong hiring system helps you retain your current team.

"Can I use this for remote hiring?"

Absolutely.  Our hiring training system works for in-person, remote, and hybrid teams.  We'll show you how to assess players virtually and onboard remote employees effectively.

"What if my hiring team is just me?"

Perfect.  Many of our clients are solo leaders or small teams.  The system works whether you're hiring alone or with a team.  We'll adapt it to your situation.

The Longer You Wait,

The More It Costs You

Every day without a proven hiring system:

•  You risk hiring another $50,000 mistake.

•  Your competitors are interviewing the talent you need.

•  Your top performers are one recruiter message away from leaving.

•  That open position bleeds $3,000/week in lost revenue.

Stop waiting.  Start winning.
