That's like sort of the dirty secret why you make a lot of bad hires.
So once you do that, you get clarity.
Then they actually show you.
And now you're not saying like, hey, you talked to this person.
How'd you like him?
I liked him so nice.
It's like, no, no, no.
We have an objective way to just say, here's what one person produced.
Here's what the other person produced.
And we start with production because that's what we're going to want in the end is production.
And we will often, I don't know if you do this, but we will often just pay to like, hey, I'll pay you for the hour of time, two hours of time, whatever it is.
Like this is a paid task trial because you're actually saving me money and time of interviewing and making a false hire because I liked you and we had a nice chat, but you actually weren't good at doing the thing.
So to give people an example of the assessment real quick, I just pulled one up.
So this is what I use to find my assistant.
So I basically gave this out and I said, I said, I want you to do the task and I want you to record a loom video explaining what you did as you do each task, which tells me their thought process, shows me kind of how they work and not just like the end product.
And I also get to hear them communicate and if they're like an easy person to communicate with.
So my assistant task, I said, pretend you're booking a vacation from LA to Paris for my wife and I. Our ideal dates are this, but we're flexible on those by a day or two.
Here's our preferences.
Send me a couple options.
The lowest cost option, the best option that balances convenience and cost, and maybe the most luxurious option, more expensive, but whatever.
