According to Jeff, 90% of business problems are actually recruiting problems in disguise. If you’re filling your company’s vacant positions with B-players, you’re playing with fire. Instead, hire Rockstars (the top 5% of candidates who have the desired competencies and DNA, at the budgeted compensation level) to build an organization with limitless potential. In our episode, we dive into how to find, hire, and keep the best of the best as well as the following:

• Why you should replace your “job description” with a “job invitation”
• How to assess your company's DNA and use those characteristics to find candidates who are guaranteed to fit
• The bulletproof 10-step method for landing the very best talent, based on data instead of gut feel
• How to attract winners like a magnet and avoid the mistakes that result in bad hires, from sourcing and interviewing, to closing and on boarding
