EXCEED EXPECTATIONS
A players are individuals whose performance in their current role provides significant competitive advantage over those employees in similar roles. These individuals are among the top 15 percent of their peers. • It is a primary responsibility of
management to ensure that these employees are retained and fully engaged.
• Must continually be able to identify and recruit these exceptional individuals.
• Management decisions should be made based on how this group will react.

#1. Recruiting Is a Continuous Process
The CEO has to own the process of constantly scouting for talent.
“At most companies, people spend 2% of their time recruiting and 75%
managing their recruiting mistakes.”
RICHARD FAIRBANK, CEO, Capital One
2% ON
RECRUITING
75% ON MANAGING RECRUITING MISTAKES

At NetQoS, I hired every A player who would take a job with us.
Would you pass up LeBron James if he wanted to play for your team?
#2. Always Hire A-Level Talent When It’s Available

#3. Recruiting Is a Dual Sales Process
You expect potential hires to sell themselves to the company.
– But the company also has to sell itself to the employee.
The best will need to be convinced.

#4. Time Is of the Essence
When you see a top prospect seeking employment, act fast to engage them.
Make the offer quickly.
Follow the two-week rule.

#5. One Person Has to Set the Bar
CEOs should spend time interviewing to bring in the most talented
individuals.
Marissa Mayer understands the importance of personally vetting prospects. Even at a company as large as Yahoo, she reviews every
single hire.

CEO Responsibility: Provide Resources
One of the responsibilities of the CEO is to provide the proper resources, which includes providing human capital.

#6. Look for Disruptive Events
Top performers often become available because of disruptive events. If a company closes its doors, I am usually the first one recruiting its A players.

#7. Your Recruiters Must Be Top People
Make sure anyone involved with the recruiting function for your company is:
– Knowledgeable – Professional – Trained on how to spot top performers

#8. Cultivate Unique Sources
Little-known sources of talent can be a CEO’s secret weapon in great recruiting.
At NetQoS those secrets were: regional universities in smaller cities and the military.

The Three-Month Rule Assume every employee will take three months of guidance to get to full productivity.
