CRP Patreon Exclusive: “What To Look For When You Hire Someone”

You know what's weird that I've been noticing lately? It seems like managers gravitate towards people who are dumb and dumber than they are to make themselves look better...very compliant and don't question their bad decisions.

I don't hire people smart enough to scam me.

"...so it's almost NEVER some rare nutcase going apeshit out of NOwhere" shall BEE repeated by ME until it's "TOO EASY Sir" [to retrieve in lively debates around the Firepit, of WHAT TO DO w/ALL the NUTBaLLs.

I've got a couple guys on board with my fledgling business teaching men how to meet women and start small businesses. Mine is in its "testimonial phase". I hope the two guys turn out well. One guy seems super down for it, and has experience in starting a business.

I had a startup with a co-founder and I had to hire a frontend guy because it was too much for me, who would do UX and UI. Once we hired him and he started "working" with me, he would generate more work for me instead of alleviating the burden.

giving the way workers are nowadays with wants and exceptions this great info.

Fuck you for not making this video 3 years ago. 😂 I was working with my dad. Literally starting having panic attacks and was so stresse because he did this exact thing soooo fucking well that I got to the point I was crazy because the guy was so fucking lazy. Took me years to figure it out.

The fact that you can understand your boss' point of view is *very* good: By seeing what he he saw, you can correct the situation, either by improving your actions, or giving him a clearer perspective so that he can change his mind and see the situation from your point of view. You failed, yes, but you're growing, and likely won't be caught in the same situation in the future.

Usually I love your content but in this video I think you over generalized based upon your experience. Ironically, The content at the end was good though

pls get a new second battery or make sure you charge max the main one - it's much better to see than just to hear

I just found myself in this situation from the opposite side. I was hired by a firm and the task they gave me was actually much harder than they let on, plus I had only six months to do it. I didn't click with my boss from the start. He kept insisting in me doing tasks that were outside my expertise and everytime the process got postponed because of other people not answering, I was to blame. Finally, he decided I'm not worth the trouble. I've been thinking for days on what I could have done differently. I'm not a lazy person but I would lie if I said I enjoyed the work. The workload was too great, my previous experience didn't prepare me for so much human interaction (I'm an introvert, I used to work in a smaller company). I get why my boss saw me as inefficient but I don't see what I could have done differently.

I’m about to hire a new employee for my business. Great stuff! By the way, what song is that in the ending?

What he says about first impressions is what cold approach pickup coaches tell you about first impressions with women. It's something I never really internalised until recently but does really work (with women and I assume with job interviews). Another instance where it's important to get guidance about life, cheers coach 👍

The last type, the one with the sweatty palms, was probably nervous wrecks. Guys who are smart but have some sort of mental problem, some anxieties, that interfere with their focus and they make mistakes all the time. Mental illness happens to half of people at some point in their lives, so it's almost never some rare nutcase going apeshit out of nowhere but rather everyday people who are experiencing issues.

Agree with all the points. I hire about 15 people a year for various positions in my business the last decade. There's no correct formula, and even after hundreds of hires still make a mistake 10-20% of the time. Since everyone fucks up the HIRING sometimes, the more important part is knowing how to FIRE someone, or peacefully get them to leave on their own. A follow-up video on how to do that would be great!
