Every company desires to find and hire people who can perform just like their top performers. But consistently selecting candidates who become top performing employees has bedeviled everyone from CEOs to hiring managers for as long as companies have been hiring employees. Companies, quite literally, have tried everything. From hiring expensive recruiters to conducting extensive and complex interviews.  No strategies seem to be able to produce a consistent stream of top performing new employees.

Finding High Performers

A quick look at the math explains why it is so difficult to hire top performers for organizations. If the top performers are considered the top 20% of the workforce, then only a percentage of those top performers are in the job market looking for, or willing to leave their existing jobs. These top performers are typically better paid and more appreciated than their counterparts. Most experts estimate the number of candidates who are top performers in the job market at any one time to be two to three percent of the total job market.

With a stack of 100 resumes, how do you find the three people who are the top performers? With traditional hiring process, the odds are not in your favor. In fact, it is easy to understand why those companies that successfully hire one top performer in every five tries are considered above average.
