Hiring a Key Role
Shouldn't Feel Make-or-Break.

Most of us would love to hire a Rockstar. An A-Player who exceeds goals and expands your business.

My guess is you are all of the above. An Achiever.

The $1 Million question at the heart of performance:

What do achievers need to win?
To stay engaged?
To go the distance with your team?

A syllabus. They need to see exactly how they win. You both need clearly defined outcomes of what success looks like from Day 1.

This tool builds your crucial hiring syllabus. In 12 minutes.

What you'll get:

  • A free, gorgeous printable PDF scorecard for interviews
  • This interview scorecard becomes their syllabus, and your coaching plan
  • Includes 30-60-90 day goals

12 minutes to avoid a costly mis-hire.
Instead, hire your dream player.

Built on Claude by Anthropic. Your business data is processed in real time and never stored on our servers. Anthropic does not train on API inputs. When your session ends, your inputs are gone. Your scorecard lives in the PDF you download and the plain text you can copy into any tool you use. Your contact information is the only thing we save, with your consent, so we can send your results.
Step 1 of 6Role Context

Let's start with the role itself.

Not the job description. The real version: what this person actually needs to do, and who they work with most.

About 2 minutes
Step 2 of 6The Vision

If this person absolutely nailed it in year one, what would be different?

Start there. Not their tasks. Not their responsibilities. What changes in your business? What gets easier? What finally gets done?

About 2 minutes
Step 3 of 6Key Outcomes

What does success actually look like in this role?

Define three to five outcomes. These become the scored dimensions your interview panel uses. Think results, not tasks. What would a home-run hire in this role deliver?

About 4 minutes
Note: Each of their 3 to 5 Outcomes are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You can also write these as OKRs: Objective plus Key Result. Use whichever language is common in your organization.
Step 4 of 6Culture Fit

Culture Fit is Huge. What does this person need to be, not just do?

Did you know? In Primed to Perform (2016), Doshi and MacGregor cite a minimum of 50% of performance as Adaptive Performance. Driven by alignment with your culture and values. The other 50% is Tactical Performance, driven by strategy and execution. Help us understand the standards of your culture so we can build it into the scorecard.

About 2 minutes
Step 5 of 6Success Timeline

What does winning look like at 30, 60, and 90 days?

This becomes the foundation of the 30-60-90 ramp plan you will build with your new hire on day one. Achievers need a syllabus to win. This is how you give them one.
