The 10 Phases

Most owners only do 3 or 4 of these.

That's why 74% of employers have made a bad hire. This checklist covers all 10 phases — the ones you know and the ones you're skipping.

01

Job Analysis

Define what success looks like before you start looking

02

The Job Description

Write a posting that attracts fits and repels misfits

03

Compensation

Know your range before the first conversation

04

Legal Compliance

Protect your business with compliant questions and process

05

Your Employer Brand

Control how candidates see you before they apply

06

Sourcing Talent

Find candidates where the best ones actually are

07

Screening

5-minute phone screens that eliminate 40–60% of candidates

08

The Interview

Behavioral questions scored on character, not credentials

09

Selection & Offer

Compare with data, decide fast, close with confidence

10

Onboarding

Structured first 90 days that prevent early turnover

The checklist shows you what to do. The course teaches you how to do it.

Each phase has deep methodology, scripts, templates, and scoring systems behind it. The checklist is your roadmap — the course is your GPS.
