That "pretty good" hire you just made? It could be costing you 3X their salary in hidden losses. April reveals why most businesses accidentally hire for failure, and the exact framework she uses to build teams that 10X company value.
Key Insights:
💸 The True Cost of "Good Enough" - How a single wrong hire can tank morale, productivity, and client relationships simultaneously
🎯 The Alignment Trifecta - Why skills + experience + cultural fit still isn't enough (and what to assess instead)
📊 KPI Trap - Most businesses measure the wrong indicators (here's what to track instead)
🗣️ Feedback Fallacy - Why annual reviews destroy retention and what to do instead
🔥 The Rehire Test - Simple 3-question audit to run on your current team TODAY
Powerful Statement:
"Hiring isn't about filling seats - it's about multiplying your organizational DNA. Every new person should make your company more 'you', not less."
Actionable Steps:
✅ Team Audit (Do this now)
-
Would I enthusiastically rehire this person today?
-
Do they amplify our culture or just fit in?
-
Are they growing faster than the role demands?
✅ Hiring Process Fixes
-
Replace "years of experience" with "problem-solving style" in job descriptions
-
Conduct working interviews (not just talking interviews)
-
Implement 30/60/90-day culture checkpoints
