Topgraders hire 90% high performers
and I wonder, is it complicated?"

And the last step is easy: you talk with bosses the finalist candidates arrange.
Q: "I noticed there are two interviewers – the tandem
Topgrading interview. Is it really necessary to have two?"
A: Yes, here's a story that will convince you. Years ago at
General Electric managers were using the Topgrading interview with one interviewer, and GE's success picking A
players had doubled from 25% to 50%. Jack Welch asked how they could do better and I said, “Jack, in workshops
we use two interviewers and I know two heads are a heck of a lot better than one.”
Jack immediately approved the tandem Topgrading Interview and GE’s success shot up to over 90%. Since then all
of the thousands of managers, in large and even tiny companies, achieving 90% hiring success use the tandem approach.
There is an exception: for low level jobs where the interviewer has conducted hundreds of interviews and has demonstrated
90% success with the solo interview – hey, the solo Topgrading Interview is fine!
Q: "The Topgrading Quick Start Program gives me a license to use some
forms for 90 days. If I extend the license after that, what do I get?"
A: Good question – you get a lot more. For the 90 days
you get 2 (pdf) Topgrading forms, and with a pdf you can’t tailor the forms. For a real license you get
Word documents and with my permission (and I’ve always given it) you can put your logo on forms, change
questions, and tailor the forms to suit your company.
Also, you get 5 time-tested Topgrading forms and guides, not just the 2 in the 90-day program. And by the way, the ROI for
investing in a Topgrading license is sky high, because the cost is low and the avoided costs of mis-hires are so great.
Q: "If I understand, the Topgrading Quick Start Program has
Beginning and Intermediate Courses. If I do both, how long will it take for me to see improved hiring?"
A: Even within a week or two you might hire an A player you
ordinarily would not have or be convinced you avoided a very costly mis-hire. This sort of result happens all
the time; I know because people email me to share their enthusiasm!
Q: "I have a few more questions – how can I get them answered?"
