00:00:00.000 I used to hire like a fucking drunken sailor. 1.00
00:00:02.040 Anybody that had a pulse that could do the work, 1.00
00:00:04.480 that had a decent resume, I'm like, you're hired.
00:00:06.560 I remember the first time I got a call
00:00:08.280 from a client that we were doing work with
00:00:10.160 and they were essentially gonna sue me
00:00:12.120 because one of the guys I hired
00:00:13.620 ended up getting drunk and doing cocaine on the weekend,
00:00:16.660 chatting with his coworkers about it,
00:00:18.960 sent to the manager,
00:00:19.940 and then I'm getting in trouble
00:00:21.400 because of like the inappropriate behavior
00:00:23.620 they had on site.
00:00:24.820 So like now, non-negotiable,
00:00:26.900 number one, everybody submits a video,
00:00:28.400 answering questions to see if they can follow simple instructions and use technology. If you
00:00:31.380 can't do that, off. Two, profile assessment. We use one called predictive index. It's pretty good.
00:00:35.320 I've used many. And then the third part is a test project. You simulate the work. The key is that
00:00:39.740 everybody applying for the same job does the same test project. So you can compare that.
