Hire Like a Pro: 5 Steps to Attract Superstar Talent

“Good people are impossible to find.” False. In this whiteboard, Dale shows the five steps to consistently hire A-players—starting before you post a job: Define your fish (KRA/impact/behaviors), ID your bait (Working Genius + DISC + real EVP), run an intentional interview (half-day, multiple interviewers, each with a specific lens), gather individual feedback (no groupthink), and close by selling the opportunity—not just the salary. Includes concrete examples (receptionist in a call center vs. a medical office) and the exact roles each interviewer plays so candidates can’t fake it for five hours. What you’ll learn Step 1 — Define your fish: KRA, impacts, behaviors before tasks (role clarity beats luck). Step 2 — ID your bait: Preferred Working Genius + DISC for the role; craft your EVP so stars choose you. Step 3 — Intentional interviews: Half-day, no panels; each interviewer tests one dimension (tech, learning aptitude, culture/behavior). Step 4 — Feedback that resists groupthink: Individual scorecards first, then the group debrief. Step 5 — Opportunity is better than a salary: Filter for “right person, right skills, right price.” Let the pure money-seekers pass.
