Episode 334: Finding A-Players with Kolby Goodman

Above The Business

Today on the podcast, Kolby Goodman joins Bradley to discuss finding the best team members, aka A-Players, for your business. Kolby is the founder of the hiring consulting firm, BestFirstNow. He helps highly educated owner operators, including doctors, dentists, veterinarians, attorneys, CPAs, architects, and so many more, stop hiring “average” candidates and start hiring Impactful Problem Solvers.

After a decade placing over 5,000 high achieving professionals in their dream roles, Kolby experienced the full spectrum of interview horror stories and the countless ways well-meaning leaders were unintentionally driving away top talent.

While many leaders are experts in their field, few were taught an effective recruiting, interviewing, and hiring strategy. Which has caused high turnover, poor customer experiences, and endless headache and frustration.

With his abundance of first-hand experience and candidate perspective, Kolby partners with struggling leaders to discover what exactly they want out of their next rockstar employee, proactively attract ideal candidates, better predict how interview performance translates to job performance, and onboard new hires quickly and efficiently.

On top of being featured on CBS News, LinkedIn, The Huffington Post, and LA Weekly, Kolby has also partnered with Panasonic, Marriot Hotels, Thermo Fisher Scientific, American Diabetes Association, SHRM, several universities and schools, national professional organizations and nonprofits to provide tailored workshops on optimizing the hiring process, effective leadership, and employee engagement. And now, he is ready to share his experience and expertise with Above The Business listeners.
