01
SCOPE
One size does not fit all. So we’ll stress-test your overall marketing strategy so you can identify the critical capabilities to hire for your specific business. Next, we'll help you scope and level the hire and draft an irresistible job spec.
02
SOURCE
Look beyond the obvious, we’ll show where top growth people hang out, help you find a diverse slate of candidates, including “hidden gems” who wouldn’t make it into a normal LinkedIn search.
03
SCREEN
Learn to dig past people’s canned responses, and uncover their actual capabilities, achievements and mindset. We'll share questions and exercises with examples of good and bad answers to help you zero in on your winners.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED?
We are not recruiters, we’ve never worked in HR. We're not going to teach you how to run the process, or anything about employment law, or any roles outside of marketing.
COST?
It's free - workshop & materials. No catch. 😀

The candidate market is tight right now. With our help, you can feel confident that you know what to hire for, you’ll source a diverse and talented slate of candidates, and that you’ll select the best ones.
