Lou Adler Group - Originators of Performance-based Hiring
As a recruiter I abhorred the idea that an outstanding candidate for an important job was being judged by a person who wasn’t a very good interviewer. Sadly, after having debriefed over one thousand different interviewers, I estimate that about two-thirds fell short. And too often the assessments of those who were valid were overridden or discredited by those who weren’t.
I’m getting nervous with the proliferation of all of these AI-infused chatbots that will change life and work as we now know it. Some of them are wrong. Really wrong.
Hiring great sales people can be tricky. In this podcast Lou Adler and Bryan Johanson discuss the basis for hiring great sales people every time. It requires a healthy dose of skepticism, deep fact finding and most of all a true understanding of what what it takes to be successful in your specific sales role. When these three elements come together, you have a fighting chance to identify, attract and close top sales talent.
In this podcast Lou Adler goes step-by-step through what he contends is a barometer for a company’s entire hiring process. Using this process you will only need to phone screen 10-12 people to interview 3-4 people in-person to wind-up with one great hire. Whenever these metrics are exceeded the problem is either due to ineffective sourcing or weak recruiting or assessment skills. In this podcast you’ll learn how to identify outstanding talent who will not only raise the talent bar at your company but also will accept a fair offer.
Frequently hiring managers make the excuse that they don’t have enough time to spend with the recruiter to discuss a new job. Instead they want the job posted right away. In this podcast Lou Adler describes how this approach wastes more time than it saves and how to convert a 45-minute conversation into stronger hires.

How to Conduct a Pre-hire Performance Review being SMARTe
In this podcast Lou Adler introduces the concept of using a pre-hire performance review to assess candidates.
