Competition for talent has never been more intense.

  • Most building products company have at least 25% of their workforce nearing retirement - with no clear plan to replace these veteran employees.
  • There are curently almost 5 million more jobs than people available to work, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
  • The annual growth rate of the workforce is only 0.3% -- and its expected to stay flat for the next 20 years. This problem is not going away.  
  • The BLS predicts in 10 years, there will be 10 Million more jobs than people available to work.

Don't Fall Victim To The 3S Cycle

LACK OF GOOD APPLICANTS

You’ve tried everything you can think of, but there just aren’t good applicants OR applicants who accept your job offer

Hiring the "Best that applied"

You believe this is just the “best” that is out there, and you’re forced to hire them--OR avoid hiring altogether

Hiring the "Best that applied"

Underperforming employees cause internal problems and prevent your company from achieving your goals

Everyone who has hired enough times has settled
for a less-than-ideal candidate. 

And they know that the reality is that when you settle – either by
hiring the wrong person OR by not hiring at all–
you waste time time, energy, and money.

Let’s End The 3S Cycle.

With the right training, tools, and processes you can change your
recruiting and hiring results – quickly.

Higher-Power

…includes everything you need to know to hire better.
That includes a few key concepts like:

ATTRACTION

If you're frustrated by the lack of good people – this is the module for you. In Attraction you'll learn the power of Attraction Based Recruiting and the step by step process Rikka's used for years to consistently attract, find, and engage qualified people.

The ideas shared in this module have helped multiple students and clients 10X their qualified applicants.

RECRUITING

In the Sourcing and Outreach Modules, you'll learn the secrets professional recruiters use to easily find and engage with people that have the right experience – even when they haven't applied to your job opening.

This is how your internal team can start getting “headhunter” results – without having to pay a $10K+ fee for every hire.

INTERVIEWING

Now that you have more qualified candidates to consider – you need to pick one that will hit the ground running and thrive at your company.

The Interviewing Module is designed so you can copy and paste these interview best practices into your interview process and start selling your opportunities while screening for fit. You'll also learn the secrets to getting your offers accepted.

“Just wanted to give you an update to let you know just how helpful Hire Power has been for me. I have been a recruiting fool lately, and my efforts have not gone unrewarded. By implementing a lot of the strategies that you have taught us (along with some good old fashioned dogged determination and stick-to-itiveness), we have managed to hire 16 new employees in the last two weeks. That is insane for us and it literally could not come at a better time. So I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do, and to let you know that the President and I regularly sing your praises.”

MEET RIKKA BRANDON

Rikka Brandon started Recruiting in the building products industry in 2001. Since then she's made over 600 placements with a less than 1% replacement rate. She's the Founder and Chief Executive Recruiter of Building Gurus, an executive search and recruitment consulting firm that works exclusively in the Building Products Industry.

She's advised hundreds of building product companies ranging from mom and pops to the Fortune 100. However, her personal favorite has always been the privately held and often family owned business.

Rikka's the go-to girl for growth-minded Building Products Owners and Executives who want to hire the right people to take their manufacturing, distribution, or retail business to the next level.

  • A frequent speaker at Building Products, LBM and Kitchen and Bath Industry conferences and events on topics related to recruiting and retention.
  • Recruiting and Retention expert for NKBA, providing articles for both NKBA.com and Kitchen and Bath Business magazine, webinars, and presentations.
  • A Recruiting and Retention expert for LBM Journal Northwestern Lumber Dealers Association, West Coast Lumber Association, Northeast Retail Lumber Association, and the Lumber Bluebook.
  • Service Provider of the year for Luxury Products Group
  • A best-selling and award-winning author
  • She's the past Chair of the National Kitchen and Bath Association's National Leadership Recruitment Committee.
  • Frequent contributor to trade publications and associations
  • Host of the LBM Journal’s Recruit + Retain Podcast,

Rikka is focused on results, she talks fast, cracks jokes, and really believes growing your building products business should be fun. It's this energy and enthusiasm that has made the industry as well as national media take notice.

Rikka has been featured numerous times on Fast Company, American Express's Open Forum, the NFIB, and CBS.

Your business can only thrive with the right people.

Your business’s success is completely tied to what you can deliver, your ability to provide great customer service, and being able to get the right products to the right place at the right time.

Studies show that high performers are an average of 400% more productive than average performers. And in more complex positions–like management–high performers can be up to 800% more productive than average.

That means that a $1 million sales territory can turn into a $5 million territory.

That means you could produce and deliver products 5x more efficiently — by replacing just one average employee with a profit center who can start adding to your bottom line immediately.

 

That’s the difference between finding, attracting, and hiring high performers vs. settling for the best mediocre application.

QUESTIONS &
answers

YES. The Hire Power course was designed after working with hundreds of building product company owners, so we’ve included video material, written material, printable resources, and ready-to-use templates. It is also designed with a Recruiting Index/Audit, so you can quickly look up your current problems and immediately access the resources and education you need to address them.

In fact, we recommend that owners of building product businesses use this course even if they already have an HR lead.

The course is fully on-demand, and you’ll receive instant access to the full library of course modules, videos, and printed resources.

If your business is fully staffed, you get plenty of quality applicants for your job openings, and all of your employees are high performers, then Hire Power Unleashed is not for you. But if you have dreams of adding locations, new product lines, and growing your business to new heights, this course will take you there. This is the place to build best-in-class recruiting and hiring practices, turn your business into a talent magnet, and find the people you need to achieve the growth you desire.

Hire Power costs $2,500 to purchase and includes all of the modules, tools, and bonuses listed above.

Even for an $18 per hour employee, the overall cost of every bad hire is $11,272. If this course helps you make even one good hire, you’ve already generated a return.

Hire Power was designed with the owner, hiring managers, HR professionals, and for any person inside your organization that is interested in learning about recruiting, interviewing, and hiring.   Hiring is most effective when it's a blend of strategy from the owner/leader and tactical execution handled by a hiring manager or support person.   Should you wish to purchase more than one seat, reach out to Hello@RikkaBrandon.com to see if any discounts may be available.
However, we strongly recommend that Leaders access the course themselves, even if they have other team members in charge of the hiring process. The tactics of hiring a team can be outsourced, but learning how to attract, hire, and keep good employees is key to your success.  You can't outsource learning.

and builds your legacy. Even if:

Hire Power is like a come-and-go pocket guide to building product hiring success. Need to write a job ad right now? Just check the job ad section. Want to reach out to a potential candidate? Check the outreach section and keep moving forward.

It’s okay, you can admit it. You never have to love recruiting, and with the right team, you can outsource the tactical pieces of hiring. But if you are the owner or manager responsible for the company’s success, you can’t outsource learning how to build a great team.

This system is built for companies with anywhere from 5-100 employees, with limited to no HR experience, and is designed to get your results quickly. Now, if you’re lucky enough to have an HR person, they can use this to build a wildly effective recruiting and hiring processes for your business.

A functioning team isn’t the same as a growing company. How much more money could you make if your sales team was actually able to get out and talk to contractors and builders? Implementing the Hire Power strategies will end the need for settling and help you assemble a team of profit centers that propel your business forward.

Mistakes are part of every hiring journey! With this tailor-made hiring guide for the building products industry, you’ll be able to pinpoint your past mistakes (and your current ones) with more clarity than ever.
