Most Business Owners Hire the Right Person Less Than One in Three Times. Here Is Why That Keeps Happening.

According to SHRM, a bad hire costs between $22,500 and $112,500. According to Dr. Brad Smart, author of Topgrading, a manager-level mistake runs up to 15 times that person's annual salary. For a $75,000 role, that is over $1,100,000. The seven mistakes in this playbook are the root causes of that number. Download it free below.

Inside the Free Playbook, you will learn: 
  • Why posting on Indeed and LinkedIn only attracts the unemployed and the desperate, and what to do instead.
  • Why you keep interviewing 10 people and still end up settling for someone who is just okay.
  • How to win a great candidate over a competitor offering more money, using six drivers that have nothing to do with salary.
  • Why settling for the best of whoever showed up is costing you more than starting the search over would have.
  • The three root causes behind every hiring mistake you keep making, and why knowing what they are is the only way to stop repeating them.

Here is what business owners who have worked with KeyHire say about what happens when you finally get the hiring process right:

"We tried to hire an Operations Manager five times. KeyHire helped us to find the role clearly, and we hired the first candidate they presented in less than six weeks."

Jana M.
Owner @ First Saturday Lime

I had only been exposed to the do-it-yourself hiring method or the classic headhunter. The difference in approach has really worked for us and allowed our business to move forward.

Terry Parrish
Owner @ Finishers Depot

KeyHire listened to exactly what we needed and brought us one or two qualified applicants who fit the bill. On target every time, helping us make strategic hires that took our business to the next level.

Guy Cordell Jr.
President @ Ridley's Vacuum & Janitorial Supply

KeyHire learns our culture and brings me one fully vetted person, and that's the person I hire. They either deliver the right candidate the first time or they don't bring anyone at all.
