One Bad Hire Can Wreck Your Business, Cost You Thousands, and Set You Back for Months

(or put you out of business)

 Great companies like Google and Amazon follow a proven hiring process for one reasonBecause it works.

 You deserve the same advantage.

one bad hire is a mistake most businesses can't afford to make.

You already know what a bad hire feels like.

They come in with confidence, charm, and a polished resume. 

They say all the right things in the interview. 

But once they’re in the seat?

It’s missed deadlines.
Excuses.
Low energy.
Or worse — they drag your team down and your best people quit.

Sound familiar?

One hire like that doesn’t just cost you salary.

It costs you time, morale, momentum and missed opportunities.

And if you’re a small business, you don’t have room to carry dead weight — not for a day, not for a week.

Here’s the part no one tells you:

Hiring mistakes aren’t made after the interview.

They’re made before you post the job.

You lacked a vision for the role.
You attracted the wrong people.
You looked for experience when you needed someone with grit and drive.

The good news? You can fix all of it. 

You see, most business owners aren’t taught how to make hiring decisions.

But there is a way to consistently find, attract, and confidently hire the right people — the kind who don’t just show up, but actually deliver results.

And once you know how discover these people, everything changes:

You get fewer headaches.
Clients love you and your business grows.
Your culture thrives.
Your best people stay with you for years.
And you have the freedom to take your business to the next level without playing babysitter.

Bad Hires Cost More Than You Think

Did you know that a single bad hire can cost up to 200% of their annual salary? (Harvard Business Review)
Businesses with high employee turnover spend an average of $15,000 per replacement, not including lost productivity. (SHRM)
Worse still, low-performing employees can lower team morale and drive away your Best People.

But here’s the good news:
It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right system, you can eliminate bad hires all together and build a dream team that drives your business to the next level.

What makes a bad hire bad or a mishire

Imagine What Your Business Could Look Like with a Team of A-Players.

A-Players are the lifeblood of every successful business.

They don’t just fill roles—they own them.
They solve problems before you even know they exist.
They inspire everyone around them to perform at their best.
A-Players attract A-Players. When you hire one, they bring others like them to your door.

Now imagine every hire you make is an A-Player. 

Your business doesn’t just grow—it thrives.

With the right system, this isn’t just possible—it’s predictable. 

That’s where the Scientific Hiring Academy comes in.

Even Steve Jobs will tell you...

“The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world.”
– Steve Jobs.

why you need to hire only the best people

What’s the Cost of Hiring the Wrong Person? 

"Harvard Business Review puts the cost of a single bad hire at up to 200% of their annual salary."

Now, What’s the Value of Hiring the Right Person?

According to McKinsey, A-Players are up to 400% more productive than average employees.
Companies that invest in structured hiring see a 36% improvement in employee performance. (Talent Board)
Innovation: Industry research shows that businesses with a higher concentration of top performers are 25% more likely to outperform their competitors.
SHRM reports that businesses with strong onboarding processes retain 69% of employees for three years or more.

A-Players Don't Just Save You Money—they create value.

Most businesses hire based on gut instinct — and it shows.

To hire the best, you need a system that takes the guesswork out of hiring. 


That system is built on four essential pillars:

Clarity. Know exactly what you're hiring for. You can't hire the best people if you don't know what to look for.
Attraction. Top talent doesn’t chase mediocre offers. To attract the best people, you have to know what they're attracted to. Learn what high performers really want — and position your role in a way that makes them say, “I need to be part of this.”
Sorting. Go beyond the resume. Use proven tools and interview strategies to uncover who can deliver results — not just who talks a good game.
Confident Decisions. Stop second-guessing your hires. Apply simple, science-backed evaluation techniques that clearly show you who’s the right fit — and who’s not.

The Scientific Hiring Academy is the Antidote to Hiring Chaos

Whether you’re hiring your first employee or your 50th, this Masterclass in hiring equips you with the wisdom to consistently hire A-Players every time.

Here's how it works...

You don’t need to be a recruiter to hire great people.

The right candidate could be sitting in front of you, but without the right questions and the right standard, you’ll never know what they can really do.

This program gives you a practical system for attracting, evaluating, and choosing the people who will actually succeed in the role.

You don’t need years of hiring experience. 

You just need a reliable way to identify top talent when you see it.

Most hiring mistakes happen long before the interview.

This module shows you how to define what success actually looks like in the role and turn it into a simple job scorecard that leads you to the right candidate.

Result:
Every candidate is evaluated by the same standard, so hiring stops being a guess and becomes a decision you can feel confident about.

Most job posts read like task lists. 

This module shows you how to attract candidates who want to grow, contribute, and build something meaningful at your company, not just collect a paycheck.

Result:

By focusing on your vision and not just duties, you attract people who aren't just looking for a job, but A-Players who want to grow with you.

You don’t have time to interview the wrong people.

This module shows you how to use short virtual interviews to quickly build rapport, ask targeted questions, and spot early signs of performance without wasting time on the wrong people. 

Result:

You spend your time only on candidates who are worth moving forward in your process, not the ones who simply look good on paper. 

Most candidates know how to say the right things. 

This module shows you how to ask questions that expose how they think, how they make decisions, and what they actually do when it counts.

You’ll learn how to cut through rehearsed answers, spot when someone avoids responsibility, and identify the behavioral patterns that predict how they’ll perform in the role.

Result:
Instead of hiring the person who interviews well, you hire the person who will perform well — someone who delivers results, strengthens your culture, and grows with your team.

Before you hire anyone, you need proof. 

This module shows you how to test a candidate’s real ability through job-specific auditions, verify their track record through effective reference checks, and make an offer they’re eager to accept.

Result:
This is where you use what you’ve learned about a candidate — their thinking, their behavior, and their performance to make an informed hiring decision based on evidence, not hope.

Your risk of a bad hire is greatly reduced, and your confidence rises in the candidate you choose.
