Here's a thread on how @noahkagan hires great people.

It's a process he's used more than 10,000 times that's helped him grow @AppSumo into an empire.

And I'm not surprised it leads to amazing hires...

🧵👇

1. Create an exact list of the job's tasks.

Be specific.

Don't just say "content marketing."

Say "Write 1-2 blog posts a week."

For example, here's a list of tasks for an editor role he was looking to fill 👇

2. Write an AMAZING job description.

Bad job listings attract bad candidates. Great ones attract great candidates.

Describe a job you'd apply for or recommend to a friend.

Here's an outline of things to consider when writing the description, based on what Noah did with his 👇

3. Give applicants a simple challenge to complete.

This will filter out bad candidates.

When @noahkagan challenged applicants for an editor job to find spelling mistakes on a LinkedIn profile, 35% of applicants failed.

4. Create specific instructions for the challenge.

Eliminate anyone who doesn't follow them.

This is another easy way to thin the herd of applicants.

5. Narrow down remaining applicants to a handful and give them a real task to do.

With specific instructions.

And a deadline.

Have it be a task they'll have to do often if hired.

6. Do a video call or meet face to face.

Consider whether this person will help you get closer to your overall goal.

Or not.

This hiring process comes from a @noahkagan article I featured in my For The Interested newsletter recently.
