I just completed listening to module 10 of the Rich Schefren Strategic profits business coaching program and there was this one really simple tip I just had to pass on to you.

It’s little ideas like this that make mentoring programs so powerful. The advice may seem obvious after hearing it, yet in most cases if someone didn’t pass on the idea you would waste time trying to figure it out by yourself.

Module 10 is all about hiring people, both outsourcing and full time employees. I’ve never hired a full time employee before, and I’m not sure I ever will, but given Rich’s experience in the past, at one point overlooking a staff of more than 100 people (I think that was for his hypnosis business), he’s clearly done this before.

Job Selection Criteria

When hiring new people you know what general role you want them to fill and what you want them to do. Often the tiny little details, the actual tasks required of that role, can be difficult to come up with. You might have a handful of ideas off the top of your head, but this is an area where it’s better to be comprehensive so you can hire the right person for the job.

Rich suggested whenever you need to hire someone, to save time and generate selection criteria ideas/tasks, go online and search for similar companies to yours that are hiring or have hired for positions like you currently need to fill and leverage their job criteria details.

Rich mentioned that given his business is very similar to the E-Myth organization, reviewing their job notices and selection criteria helped him to come up with tasks he wanted to include on the selection criteria for jobs he had open.

This is another case where you can leverage the competition to help make your life easier and efficient. Most of the answers are already online from people who have done what you need to do - just get out and find examples to follow. Best of all, like in this situation, the information is freely available by searching job sites and employment pages on other company’s sites. Easy!

If you want more ideas like this and you run an Internet business I strongly recommend the Strategic Profits program. Rich is currently offering a seven day trial for $1 to sample what he offers (I think you get at least module 1).
