Key Takeaways:

  • Hiring is a filtering game: your job post should repel the wrong candidates and attract the right ones.
  • Treat your job post like a sales page—sell your agency and the opportunity to top talent.
  • Use clear calls-to-action to ensure applicants follow specific directions (a built-in filtering mechanism).
  • A structured funnel saves significant time and ensures only serious, qualified applicants get through.
  • Asynchronous video interviews help assess values, communication style, and authenticity early on.
  • Offering performance-based compensation can attract highly motivated candidates—but must align with your financial model.
  • Assign test projects (and pay for them) to see real-world thinking and execution in action.
  • Final interviews should focus on clarifying thought process behind the test project.
  • Don’t overlook great candidates based on resumes alone—sometimes the best hires surprise you.
  • The best hires show up prepared, communicate with specificity, and demonstrate initiative throughout the process.
