Those of you who know us know that we're huge advocates for putting as much effort into your hiring funnel as you do to your sales funnel.


And that’s exactly why I’m excited for this week’s episode.


Brandon Vaughn is a long-time entrepreneur, business coach and CEO of HireBus, a recruitment automation software built specifically for contractors.


Using what’s called the RightSeat™ Assessment, HireBus helps contractors get the right people in the right roles so both the business and employees win.


In this episode, I ask Brandon to walk us through an ideal hiring funnel for contractors, drawing on everything he learned from building and optimizing the RightSeat™ Assessment.


How do you find qualified people? How do you get them to actually show up to an interview? And how do you know that they are ACTUALLY right for the role they applied for?


Brandon covers all this and more.


Episode Highlights:

  • Get actionable recruitment tips from Brandon Vaughn, CEO of HireBus, a recruitment platform built for contractors.
  • Learn what an ideal hiring funnel for contractors should look like, and what you can do right away to start attracting better people while weeding out the duds.
  • Hear real examples of what good recruitment assets look like for contractors (if you want to steal some ideas, we won’t tell).
