21-Day Hiring Method to Build Better Teams [7FMS Ep. #133]

by Daniel Patterson
To truly scale a business, you must hire team members…

These team members could be teachers, admins, assistants, marketing professionals, or all of the above.

Even a small studio could benefit from an admin (to take some of the pressure off of the owner).

So – how do you ensure that you hire the right people?

Certainly, a robust and intelligent hiring process will help…

But, you can’t guarantee that the person you’re interviewing will be the “A player” that you hope for.

I know too many school owners that feel stuck with a new hire… and the owner is too “nice” to let the person go.

Is it possible to build a process into your hiring and onboarding system to prevent getting stuck with a “dud”?

The answer is YES.

In today’s episode, Daniel details a system that he has been using for hiring since 2017.

This is a practical episode and it will help you build better teams in the future.

  • Assessing a new hire’s fit in your team culture
  • Strategy for a seamless onboarding process
  • How to have clear expectations for a new hire from day one
  • Assessing a candidate’s performance
  • Examples of candidates who did NOT pass the 21-day test
  • Consequences of not using the 21-day test
