Dear Fellow Employer

Plus, if you don't know what you're doing, then you can actually do more harm than good to the progress of your business ... meaning you'll end up wasting more time and money trying to find the right person for the job.

Clearly, what has been lacking is ... a step-by-step guideline to follow. With this in mind, I felt that a recruiting handbook was very much needed and with the help of Kyle Watkins' years of experience as a top recruiter, I've put together …

For the last 6 years, Kyle has experienced, first hand, the best and worst of corporate recruitment practices in various industry sectors .... such as investment banking, freight logistics and property recruitment within a global environment.

Consequently, he's well placed to comment on best practice with regards to planning a world class recruitment process and strategy.

But be warned . . .  you can't always rely on CV's and reference checks . . .

A few years ago, I recruited a General Manager for my healthcare administration business. But before appointing him, I went through the usual formalities of recruitment ... getting a short-list from an agency, carrying out interviews and then referencing the candidates.

Because this was a senior position, I decided to do my own referencing. Out of all the candidates, there was one that stood out from all the others. His achievements and his references were flawless. In fact, they were so good that I believed I'd be an idiot not to appoint this paragon!

So I went ahead and appointed him and then sat back waiting for the fantastic results which had been clearly indicated on his CV to be forthcoming.

Well, guess what ... I ended up doing even more work and after 6 months with zero input from my 'General Manager', I ended in a very costly dismissal.

Afterwards, I contacted a few of his referees to find out why the person on the CV and the person I referenced with them, didn't match! ... only to find out that this person was well liked in the community and he desperately needed a job, as he had a family to feed. What everyone 'forgot' to mention, was that he was going to be retrenched due to a merger his company was undergoing with another company.
 

Now here's the lesson I learnt ...

1. Check the CV's to make sure the qualifications and skills are appropriate

2. Set relevant practical tests for the candidates to do

3. Only reference the credit and criminal references!

Recruiting this way, gave me really accurate results and well-placed employees.

For example ... for a Sales Manager's position, I asked for a marketing plan in hard copy for a specific product to be launched into the marketplace. Without specifying any parameters, I was expecting this to include, amongst other things, the target market, the complete detailed roll-out for an annual marketing campaign, the resources that would be required, the budget, the sales forecasts, the team incentives, etc ... and of course within a stated deadline!

It was amazing, what the results showed ... not only competence, but also the attention to detail, the presentation format, goal setting, timeliness, etc. I was even able to separate the 'waffler' ... you know the one who you can't get to leave ... from the professional sales person ... and here's the bonus ... I was given ideas that I hadn't thought of before!

You can even use this method for your admin staff recruitment ... get secretarial candidates to do not only speed typing exercises, but also some of the tasks you'd expect from them. Get the potential receptionist to work your switchboard for an hour!

Believe me when I say, “How To Recruit A First Rate Employee In Seven Easy Steps” will be the most used reference guide when interviewing candidates! This 46 page guide is filled with valuable step-by-step information to help any recruiter make an informed decision in selecting the right candidate for the job.

It's SO EASY to learn these skills, that you'll kick yourself for not learning them sooner! And your business will certainly thank you for it . . .
 

"These strategies will work for absolutely ANY type of business ... and it's time to share them with YOU!"

The best thing about these strategies is ...

And better still, one of the most important reasons you'll love this eBook so much is because you'll be able to focus on your core business AND attract and keep high quality employees ... instead of regularly having to replace them. 

"Discover EXACTLY how to recruit excellent employees  . . . in the next five minutes!"

It's a win-win situation!

And that's why I've decided to put a very reasonable price of just $29 on access to this incredible resource of expert knowledge and advice.

Think about it this way: At $29 you'll spend less on learning the recruitment skills that will save you thousand of dollars in the long run by not having to replace staff. 

The choice is yours: You either want to carry on paying your local recruitment agency for finding you replacements . . .  or you don't!
