    Perfect Hire Blueprint eBook - Dave Clough

    Introduction

    My passion is to help small businesses (1 to 500 employees) succeed. That is my full time job – Business Advisor for mPower Advisors. I left corporate America to do just that: become a business advisor, coach, and executive mentor.

    The odds are not in the favor of the small business. We’ve all heard the data: 20+ percent of small businesses fail after one year and less than 1/3 make it to 10 years.

    Bad hiring plays a huge part in the execution issues that cause small businesses to fail. It’s important to hire the right people who fit the job AND the company. Small businesses need the attitude AND the skill, but most small businesses don’t know how to find the right people.

    This eBook is an attempt to improve that. It will cover the process, but the implementation details that make it the PERFECT Hire Blueprint are in the complete book. You can get more information about the book here.

    You need to hire someone now – but what’s the best way to do it and ensure the hire is successful?

    The U.S. Department of Labor estimated in 2003 that the average cost of a bad hiring decision can equal 30% of the individual’s first year potential earnings, but that could be just direct costs. What is the cost of mistakes and failures that top performers wouldn’t make? Depending on the job level, these can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    It doesn’t have to be this way.

    In a growing company, hiring people seems to be never ending process. Most hiring managers dislike the process of hiring. I’ve spoken with many who feel that even after all the hard work and due diligence, it is still a gamble as to whether the person is a good hire.

    This eBook is written for leaders who need to hire and want to build a team that achieves great things.

    There are many factors that can make hiring more difficult:

    It takes a lot of time that most managers believe they don’t have

    In order to engage with good candidates, you need to move fast

    Resumes are sometimes works of fiction, edited by experts

    The interview is a coached performance rather than an authentic conversation, and you may not know the real person until many days after he starts

    References are either friends or past coworkers who won’t (or can’t) tell you the truth

    Recruiters and headhunters are compensated or incentivized to fill the position regardless of whether the person is the best fit

    The hiring manager goes with his gut, thinking he is a good judge of character.

    This eBook will outline a process that works, is scalable, and promises that you can hire a great team.

    Can’t I just hire a headhunter?

    Some think that headhunters are
