We are Hiring.  Getting the right people is vital, obviously, to building a great team.

Building a great team starts with finding great people. Top firms spend an excessive amount of time Recruiting.

One worldwide executive recruiting firm, Egon Zehnder International, conducts between 25 and 40 interviews per hire!  Most of us don’t have the time or resources to put job candidates through such a rigorous recruiting process. However, we can take the time to check out a potential new employee thoroughly before asking him or her to join our team. If you’re wowed by someone’s technical prowess but concerned about his or her honesty or attitude, don’t risk it. When we have justified hiring someone—usually in response to a hefty workload—the person may have provided short-term relief but did not work out in the long term.

We have an eight-step process. An essential step in our approach uses an interview from the book Top Grading.  Here’s a link to that interview.
