Hire Power: Everything Entrepreneurs Need to Know to Hire Awesome People Paperback – March 26, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
Let’s face it – hiring can be a small business owner’s greatest frustration. You want to be excited when it’s time to hire, but you know that (far) too often your new hire will just lead to disappointment.
Maybe you’ve hired so many underwhelming team members that you’re starting to believe there just aren’t any good employees out there. Or maybe you’ve struggled to find anyone to fill your positions.
In Hire Power, you’ll learn how to take control of the hiring game. You’ll get easy-to-follow advice on how to attract, find, and engage the talent you need. You’ll finally be able to hire with confidence.
Hire Power IS FOR YOU IF:
- Your market or industry is highly competitive or has a low unemployment rate and your current recruitment process isn’t working.
- You are sick of paying a 50%+ temp agency markup on your hires and want to cut costs by bringing your recruitment process in-house.
- Your small business has HUGE potential, but you need a strong team to achieve your vision.
- You’ve made a hiring mistake (or two!) in the past, and you’re ready to start hiring smart and quite “best-guessing” your way through the process.
In Hire Power YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to build a team that supports you (and actually makes you money).
- How to get clear about what you really need and STOP making costly hiring mistakes.
- A step-by-step recruitment process that will deliver more qualified applicants, so you can stop settling and start hiring the best.
- How to conduct an interview that sells the candidate on your opportunity AND determines if they can truly do the job.
- How to craft and extend job offers that get accepted (without breaking the bank!)
With Hire Power YOU’LL GET:
- The Hiring Toolkit – An online resource packed with examples, templates, scripts, and more to help you work smart, not hard as you grow your business.
WHAT KIND OF BUSINESSES OR INDUSTRIES DOES THE HIRE POWER METHOD WORK BEST FOR?
Anyone who is hiring can benefit, but it will deliver the most value to these types of businesses.
- Professional Services (Marketing, Accountants, Insurance Agencies, Law Offices, Banks)
- Private Medical Practices (Physicians, Dentists, Chiropractors, etc.)
- Distribution Businesses (Sales, Management, Customer Service Roles)
- Service-Based Businesses (any business with multiple customer facing roles)
Generally speaking, the Hire Power approach works best for professional positions that require a resume instead of a hand-written application to be considered.
PRAISE FOR HIRE POWER
A must-read for anyone involved in the recruitment process. Whether you are a business owner, an HR manager or anyone involved in the recruitment process, the knowledge and tips she shares are priceless.

When I picked up this book, I was a little startled at the boldness of the title which promises “everything entrepreneurs need to know to hire awesome people,” but it wasn’t disappointing in the least.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017I work for a large consulting company, so I am not really the target audience. However, I have been thinking a lot lately about our interview process so when this came across my radar, I decided to pick it up.
In terms of strengths, the book is very thorough. It is targeted at small business owners, but I focused on the chapters around the interview process and found them very helpful. Although I am familiar with a lot of the concepts, seeing them all laid out and clearly discussed was helpful for thinking about our current interview process and how it could be better. There are several points that I plan to take back and incorporate.
My only criticism is that the book would have benefited from a tighter editorial review. Some of the chapters could be organized better and there are grammatical issues here and there. Overall this is a minor point so I still give five stars.
The author writes in an easy-to-follow style and clearly draws on a wealth of personal experience in putting forth her recommendations.
Overall I would recommend this book to small business owners looking to develop and formalize their interview and hiring processes and to anyone wanting a fresh perspective on thinking through their current practice.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017Hire Power was worth every penny!! Written with an engaging, easy-to-read style, this is a quick read but full of useful information. I loved the "Know Yourself Assessment", which asks you questions about your personality and what you want your involvement in the business to look like so you can take your business in the right direction to be not only successful, but happy. That in itself is worth the money I spent on this book! The mini questionnaires throughout the book helped me get clear on all the many decisions around hiring in business and helped with the overwhelm I feel around this topic. Having the author's wealth of experience and knowledge on hiring helps you get straight to the point and identify concretely when you need to hire and then how to do it.
Overall, this book was incredibly useful as well as entertaining. I highly recommend to any entrepreneur, whether you think you're ready to hire employees or not.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017RIkka Brandon definitely speaks from the mountain tops as a higher power in the world of hiring great team members to support you and your business. As a small business owner myself, I understand the pain of making a poor decision in the hiring process. It seemed like a crap-shoot to me! Some hires were delightful colleagues and exceeded my expectations, while others were deeply disappointing. In HIRE POWER, I love that she presents a strategic and common-sense system that helps me make confident decisons so that I'm more likely to be delighted than disappointed. The book is a quick read, packed with practical tips, and enough real-life case studies to make it fun and relatable. I got the Kindle version and the paperback so that I can easily share and reference. HIRE POWER is my new bible for recruiting, developing and retaining awesome employees.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020This book is a gold-mine of helpful information for any entrepreneur or small business owner looking to staff their growing firm. I've been staffing for the corporate world for over twenty years so I was eager to read what Rikka had to say about staffing...I found her advice spot-on!
Rikka delivers critical data, such as attracting candidates, interviewing and extending offers, in a clear-cut, no-nonsense manner. Her book contains many real-life samples and tools to use once you are ready to start staffing.
Her book is affordable and the advice is priceless.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017Most business books are a little dry and I have to force myself to read them (usually skimming) to find the relevant content. I generally take away one or two solid points that I can apply to my business. This book, however, was so easy to read and interesting - I read it in one sitting! I am just starting to do some hiring in my business and I found so many relevant points in this book that will make the process easier and more successful for me. Also, the author writes in a straightforward and honest way that you can't help but relate to her and want to listen to her sound advice. Excellent book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017Entrepreneurs and hiring managers looking to add qualified, productive employees will benefit from this step by step guide to ensure a successful hire. It's a thorough, easy to read primer on everything involved in the hiring process. The author provides guidance and back up materials on every step of the process. If you have ever had to say "you're fired" you will appreciate the advice in this book. It will give you the confidence to hire on your own without unnecessary costs and wasted time.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017I've been an entrepreneur for five years now and I've gotten hiring wrong more times than I care to admit! If I didn't know better, I'd swear that Rikka was reading my mind in the first few chapters when she talked about the problems of hiring the wrong person. This book is very timely for me, as I'm preparing to hire some new team members. Thanks to Rikka's book, I feel much better prepared!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2017Wahoo....Rikka really knows hiring! Higher Power is energy packed and motivating. Great for any entrepreneur who is planning to hire but also way before the hiring process...! This book showed me all the aspects to consider when thinking about hiring and gave me a bump of motivation about my own business direction. Love her clear and clever way of writing. Excellent info where you're ready to start hiring or considering the concept.
