Please, please, please wear pants during your video interview! Both parties, not just the person being interviewed.
Just yesterday, Jessie filled me in on the horror story of her last interview. The interviewer spilled his coffee, jumped up really quickly to reveal he was in his holiday boxers. While it makes for a hilarious story, it did not win the hire for the company...
Our guest today: Vince Thompson, Founder & CEO of MELT

December 17, 2020The Answer to the Widening Skills Gap is an Apprenticeship Program with Nicholas Wyman of IWSI America
Skills can be learned, but who a person is, is what determines a successful hire. This all comes down to core value alignment with the organization.
Shared values create a much tighter bond and a more engaged team member.
The correct answer is rarely hiring for skills. So consider alternative hiring initiatives like an apprenticeship program designed to purely foster career growth.
Our guest today: Nicholas Wyman, President of IWSI America
Nicholas is an international expert, particularly zero-ing in on CTE education, apprenticeship and training models in the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Australia. Wyman writes opinion pieces for Forbes, Quartz and Fortune, appearances on National Public Radio, he has notched top education writer on LinkedIn.
Today we discuss:
Why an apprenticeship program might be the key to unprecedented company growth
6 step process to build a program at your company
Challenge today?
Can't find people with the skills they need
Employers need to do more to train people
Design an apprenticeship program or internship model needs to be turned upside down
Misconception that because a lot of
Young people who have not been able to get a start
Displaced people who need a fresh start

December 10, 2020Hiring 250 Remote Employees in 2 Weeks with Brock Blake of Lendio
Imagine having to staff 250 roles... just as many companies were laying off and scrambling to get their PPP loans approved.
Our guest today had 2 weeks to hire 250 people to handle the demand for PPP loans and is here to share his story.
Our guest today: Brock Blake, Co-Founder & CEO of Lendio
Brock spent the last nine years developing technology to get loans to more people, more quickly, and more efficiently than traditional lenders. Under his leadership, Lendio grew to be the largest online marketplace for small business loans in America. So when the coronavirus pandemic struck, he knew he was in a unique position to make a difference.
Today we discuss:
Creative ways to bulk hire in a short period of time
The hiring system to be able to crush a lot of hires in a very short time
Challenge today?
We had committed to [a company] that we would hire 25+ of their people on a temporary basis to help with PPP and then they would return to their employment. It was a win/win. The painful part was realizing the people we hired through them were not skilled in computer software and systems. We ended up keeping only 8-9 people from [Company] which put us behind in getting resources to meet the demands we had.
Being told “we are good, no more hires” next day “Let’s get 150 hired by next Monday” and we crushed those goals
Why is this important to the company?
Getting to the bottom of the barrel in terms of Temp to hire resources for the last group that we hired. The incentive to stay home instead of work because of the unemployment benefits had kept a lot of people from applying for work. So those that were applying by the end of our hiring process were not the most employable people. The number of wage garnishments, failed background checks, etc. was much higher for this last group than our overall hiring experience.
Having the opportunity to extend offers to people during the pandemic. Some people were experiencing the worst few weeks of their lives and were overcome with joy when they received offers. Truly an awesome experience!
Candidates crying on the phone with us when we offered them the position because they were so grateful to be able to provide for their families or be helping w/PPP
How do we build a quick hiring structure into your company?
Bulk interview process
One interview, Decision
Creating SOPs and generic equipment setup/login instructions - Getting 200+ new hires setup and logged into equipment was a massive undertaking. Staying up until 2 am helping new hires set up their computers for the next morning
Trying to run new hire orientation with 50+ people in a Zoom meeting who have never used Zoom or their equipment before. No understanding of the mute button.
Guy falling asleep for 2 hours during training. Snoring.
Being responsible for retrieving equipment; traveling to unknown places (I’m from out of state), former TMs not cooperating, equipment not being left where they say it would be, thoughts of getting Covid from equipment boxes, equipment not being packed up properly and left outside in garbage bags.
Cops involved (one emergency contact saying that the temp was MISSING and that us reporting her equipment as stolen might help the authorities find her!) - 4 total police reports
One person saying “If you want your stuff back, come and get it. And BTW I have COVID”
Driving all over the state
Condition that equipment was returned in (garbage bags, shoe boxes, etc.)
Russ and Kimberly stories of tracking down equipment after terminations
Rick’s Nuggets
Do not get rid of your hiring process to rapid hire
Scale the number of interviews
Train 2-3 interview teams to allow scale
Assigned interview questions
Back to back video interviews
Be aware if interviewer fatigue
Key Takeaways:
Have a process in place
Don't cut corners on culture fit, screening
Get creative

December 03, 2020The Method for Hiring Trustworthy Leaders Not Incompetent Managers with Tim Spiker of The Aperio
Can we all agree that the people you hire determine the success of your company. It is not enough to just “fill a role”. Especially if you're a smaller, growing company.
Every hiring mistake that your company has made is due to your focus on the wrong ego driven priorities. (Ie: the work to be done, what I think I need, image for the company)
Focus on hiring the “WHO” that aligns with the corporate values first and you’ll achieve unbelievable results.
Our guest today: Tim Spiker, Founder & President of The Aperio
...And the Who* Not What Principle, a profound research-based truth that has powered 15 years of leadership development success.
Tim’s book, The Only Leaders Worth* Following, reveals that 77% of leadership effectiveness comes from who a leader is and not what they do. Using this principle, Tim helps people become, be, and stay leaders who are actually worth following. Tim’s work includes delivering keynote talks, creating unique and customized learning experiences, and guiding long-term development journeys.
Today we discuss:
The advantage of focusing on Who before What
The role Trustworthiness plays in a Successful “Who”
3 steps to hiring the Right Who!
¾ of things working is about WHO the person is who is leading the process.
Listening for who based questions
Eagerness to hallmark others
Challenge today?
Are your leaders trustworthy??
Strong Leader:
Who is inwardly sound and others focused = trustworthy
Engages people at a higher level
How much energy are you putting into your leaders to help them be more trustworthy
Why is this important to the company?
77% of leadership effectiveness comes from who a leader is and not what they do. Why? Because trustworthiness drives engagement and engagement drives performance. Therefore we must interview for and intentionally develop leaders who are trustworthy. Not leaders who give the appearance of being trustworthy, but who are actually trustworthy.
Trustworthiness drive engagement which drives performance
Huge Difference between image and the perception of others
Start of a trend of external image vs
Downside to the company - long term value creation at the fundamental level
Company will never maximize performance of the organization
How do we hire the "Right Who" into your company?
Become Trustworthy
Develop the core of who you are
Being curious - about others
Tell me more about that...
Depth, Community & Time
Hire for trustworthiness!
Giving the interview questions in advance
Let them prepare for the interview
Dig under the hood
Provide the Interview questions in Advance!
Interview question:
"Tell me about a time when you broke trust with someone and what did you do to fix it?"
Continued Development
Use the phrase “tell me more” 100 times
Develop those around you
Depth
Community
Time
Majoring in politics downgrades your trustworthiness!
Key Takeaways:
Be willing to look in the mirror, courage to own your shortcomings
To have a organization with world class leaders, you have to engage with world class conversations -
Be willing to work on myself to set the example for the other leaders to have “who” based conversations

November 20, 2020Data Driven Insight into Your Video Interview Process with Scott Sandland of Cryano.ai
Data Driven Insight into Your Video Interviews.
“Look, I just need to hire someone who can do the work so we can get this product done” Said Peter. A CEO for a newly funded startup. “Besides, there is no way to really know if someone fits into the company until you experience working together”. Not true at all!
Your interview process, when structured properly, will give you all the evidence to support making the right hire each & every time. Because, as we all know, one bad hire can destroy your company!
Today we are talking about the power of digging deep on the “right” questions and utilizing AI to confirm your conclusions.
Our guest today: Scott Sandland, Founder & CEO of cyrano.ai
Scott is the former world's youngest hypnotherapist. A few companies (and decades) later he is the CEO of a company focusing on artificial empathy and strategic linguistics.
As a former executive director and CEO of a mental health clinic and longtime technologist, he has experience leading purpose driven organizations. He has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, Psychology Today, Forbes, and Entrepreneur Magazine.
Today we discuss:
Getting to the truth about the person in a video interview
How to leverage AI to confirm your hiring decisions

How they are thinking allows you to understand a persons mindset now
Analyzing the what and how things are said

Understanding how people will fit
Correctly auditing the client pool at scale

How to manage/mentor the person you do hire
Right person, wrong team… vision to see who will “blow up the locker room”
Making sure you are in a position to get the most out of a new hire
What burns them out/demotivates them and how to avoid it
Allow you to really utilize all the features that are strengths (create a more well rounded team!)
How do we build into your company?

Look at the relationships of what already exists
Understand what you really need
Make strategic decision for similarity or diversity
Profile each person to interview
Run youtube interviews /linkedin profiles through their system
Get a head start on your hiring process
Creating custom interview questions based on insights

Makes the intangibles, tangible from the beginning.
Hire
Confirm fit & hire
Rick’s Nuggets
Understand yourselves then build your company values around
Do your homework, target & connect
Interview for values first
Key Takeaways:
Soft skills assessment of candidates is more important than resume checklist
Consistency and transparency in that assessment is critical, which is why machines should be used instead of a person with moods and distractions
