Episode notes

Most remodeling companies hire on feel. The person shook hands right, knew somebody we knew, and could start Monday. Fletcher Wimbush, CEO of Discovered and creator of the FACT Driven Hiring System, has spent his career on the parts of hiring most of us rush or skip. In this episode he walks Greg through a live demonstration of how to set up a reference check inside the interview, why you should never hire anyone without talking to their previous boss, how a weak candidate can lead you to your next great carpenter, and the 30-minute exercise every company should do before it writes a job ad. Plus a work comp statistic that should change how you onboard.
