How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
Step 1 is The Service Tech Hiring Field Guide, file 6. Work down from there, and by step 4 you run every candidate through the same lane: ten-minute screen.
Skim the Field Guide, starting with the one idea on page 2. Fifteen minutes, and you know why speed and a fixed bar beat a bigger posting budget.
Open the Workbook, read the ten scorecard lines, and adjust the amber weights to your shop; the total shows so you can keep it at 100.
Post the honest job posting from Scripts & Templates, and log every applicant in the Hiring Pipeline the day they apply, source first.
Run every candidate through the same lane: ten-minute screen, scorecard interview, paid working interview, same-day offer. Mark day 90 for every hire, and read the Summary tab monthly.
