Don't Put "A+" Talent Through "B" Processes w/ Matt Johnson

A+ players know their worth.  Putting them through B processes will turn them off.

Understand the difference between an A+ and B players:  what turns off the A+ player during the hiring process, and why low level administrators should not manage the hiring process. Matt Johnson and I speak about how companies should treat A+ talent.

 

 

Takeaways + Tactics

• A+ player knows their numbers and achievements . B players don’t.

• Hiring processes for entry level workers and executive level candidates are different. Most A+ players won’t stand for being treated like an applicant.

• During the good times, companies are more likely to hire B players to ease the workload.  During hard times, the rockstar will stand out.
