I have seen bad hires actually kill an early-stage company. I have hired many hundreds of people in my career, including hiring 150 new people over a 6 month period. After 15 years as a CEO I have developed a system that I think insures a much higher success rate. Today the average failure rate of hires is more than 50%. Being an ex-engineer I try to consistently develop a system for everything I do so I can measure, repeat and improve each time. The bottom line is we can always get better at hiring and this book is one of the most leveraged ways to improve your business as doing it right the first time will pay big dividends for a long, long time.
What You Will Learn:
- Skill Set Framework - A complete system to help you determine the priority of the skill sets you will need in the future and figure out what you "Don't know you don't know."
- Top Interview Questions of All Time - These interview questions will break through the "interview" mode dating behavior and get candidates to reveal far more than they expect
- Top Ten Hiring Tips - Simple key ideas that most people do not stick to that will greatly improve your hiring results.
"In building First Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget, but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to manage a team to get it done, are still the best I've ever seen."
-- Jim Rutt - ex-CEO Network Solutions, The Internet Registration Company |
- Top Ten Tips For Hiring Senior Executives - No decision is so crucial as hiring a key executive in a small company. These tips show you how to increase your odds of success enormously. Don't let a bad hire at this critical level stop or slow your company for six months while you give someone a chance to prove themselves. Be sure you have the right person on day one as the cost of failure here exceeds six figures given lost business, training, salary and other expenses
- Define Job Scope - The smaller the company the larger the job scope. Communicating to your staff how each employee in a small company must wear more hats, can really make a huge difference. You can not afford to have people saying "Not my job man". This system will insure you avoid this disaster, but not depend entirely on interview answers or references people volunteer.
- The Most Common Hiring Mistake Made Today - Are you making this very common mistake. If so, you are slowing down the development of your company and guaranteeing you will hire an inferior person for the job every time.
“Mr. Norton is a true visionary who can also execute. Few people have the ability to do both.“ -- General Partner, Investment Banking Firm |
Average hiring success rates are less than 50% today, yet as high as 80%-90% should be achievable if you follow all the guidelines here. This means you will have the best employees stay with you longer and you will hire fewer people who do not stay by your choice or theirs. You should improve the match of people to the needed skills by NEVER hiring someone without the right skills for the current and future position. This fill in the blanks system will guide you through all the right questions for you to get this right nearly every time. You will totally avoid the #1 hiring mistake today which is most likely screening out the best candidates before you even see them. You will learn how to hire and manage consultants and contractors better, to fill short term needs so you can wait for the right full-time employee instead of compromising on the first "warm body". You will get a complete system to virtually guarantee that every senior executive hire will be successful. Today every management level bad hire averages over $100,000 in actual expenses, plus the cost of lost opportunity and rehiring.

Hello,
I am Bob Norton and I wrote this book to help startups increase their often overlooked hiring practices. As owners, Presidents, CEOs, hiring is something we can never delegate and need to learn how to do as well as possible, as fast as possible. The growth rate and sometimes the very survival of our companies will depend on our hiring decisions.
As part of our business at C-Level Enterprises, Inc. I mentor and advise both new entrepreneurs, and even very experienced CEOs, on developing early-stage company systems. I also interview people for clients to help evaluate fit. This book has everything you need to improve your hiring and ensure the rapid success of your company. In fact all other things being equal there is no doubt that the company with the best employees will win the market because everything the company does will be done better.
I guarantee this will be one of the best investments you ever make because the information it contains has so much leverage it should make and/or save you many thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of extra dollars in your business or career very quickly.

If you think about it you will realize that hiring is the most critical skill needed by any CEO or entrepreneur. No matter how good you are at anything else if you hire badly your company will fail. Yet did you ever take a course or read a book written by someone who has hired hundreds of people for early-stage companies? Probably not. And do you think human resources people will solve this problem for you? DEFINITELY NOT! I know successful entrepreneurs who are pretty bad managers and yet their hiring skills and intuition are so good that they have been hugely successful, literally making tens of millions of dollars from other people skills and abilities. I never met a successful entrepreneur who did not have decent hiring skills, though many could still improve 100% or more and they would be much more successful.

Many of these authors are specialists and academics that could never offer the breadth of experience in launching an entire business. In other words it is impossible to get all this information anywhere else.

P.S. This book is not for everyone. It is for serious entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to become world-class executives and learn a proven system to hire everyone from executives to managers to individual contributors. If you are not open to advice and learning from the mistakes and successes of others, then I would recommend you NOT buy this book. It is not a "get rich quick" formula like many products offered on the Internet - It is a time tested system developed by someone who has "Done it before", and who has documented successful systems, philosophies and frameworks so others can benefit, create jobs and build companies and personal wealth.
