My name is Bella Vasta. And today we're gonna talk about hiring. Because I know it's a super hot topic. We just had Joey Coleman come and blow the lid off of it in a special free training we did last Friday. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that people were amazed. And as one person said, I can't believe we got a private lesson with Joey Coleman and got to brainstorm. One of the questions that came up was pretty unique. And Joey and the whole group started figuring out ways that we could surprise, surprise and delight are employees at a specific stage of the hiring process. And the ideas that came out were like, I've never heard of them ever before in the industry like it is genius. And so what we also did is because it was open to the entire industry, actually you can still get in on it. If you wanted to go in order, never lose an employee and send that receipt to [email protected] We will get you that recording. It's a one-hour recording. And it is wildly valuable if you're at the place of life, where you are trying to hire. Or you're trying to keep your hires and you want to keep them happy. Joey made an incredible point. I think he even said it on the podcast Two episodes ago, he said, You know, some so many people are like, hey, we'll give you X amount of dollars if you bring in a referral. But what we've neglected to understand is that we have not done a good job of making most of our employees advocates for their position or the company. So how can we have someone who's not an advocate of our company, go out there and bring people in? Right? It was wildly mind-blowing. It was so cool. It was so cool. But today, oh, wait a minute, I have one more announcement, there's so much stuff going on in jump headquarters, we have decided to leverage the power of artificial intelligence, AI, and hiring and bring you a group for one week, it's going to be June 19, to the 23rd. It is only going to be $47. But because you listen to this podcast, if you use ai20, you can get $20 off, so then it's only $27. And that group is going to be cool. It's going to show you what AI can do with your already existing or the hiring process you're trying to create. Because here's the thing, artificial intelligence isn't going anywhere. It's getting better and better and better and better. And what's going to happen is it's literally like the internet like we are in an industrial revolution or technology revolution, rather. And when other people are starting to use this. It's mind-blowing. And so we're breaking down, what is it? Where's it already in your life? Because I think I don't think a lot of people understand how much AI is already incorporated into your life. They think it's like this new thing. And it's not it's been around for 10 years, it's just been getting amazing, amazing, amazing. We've been using Jump since December 2022. And it is integrated into my company. I have told people if you don't understand or learn how to leverage this, and this isn't an ongoing conversation, there's not going to be a place for you and my company. Because that's how powerful it can be if given the right hands and prompts. So when you take that and you couple it with your hiring process, now all of a sudden your challenges of like, how do I write a job post? How do I write an offer letter? How do I do? You know, how do I do open-ended questions about x topic? AI can tremendously help you and that's just the tip of the iceberg. So if you want to join that go to jumpconsulting.net/hiringai , and that's where you can sign up for like, under $30 for the week. And of course, in true Bella fashion, we're gonna be giving you lots of extra stuff. And of course, our wonderful partners at Jaz HR are helping to sponsor this. That's why we're able to keep the cost so low, as well as the jump mastermind and pet care team training. But more on that in the group. Let's get into the show today. So I want to continue with hiring of course, of course, because we can never talk too much about it. I am really, I think, really long and hard about how can I give you guys value on these shows. And so I want to like kind of, you know, sometimes we're zoomed in into like the woods. Now I want to like zoom us out, not necessarily 30,000 feet, maybe 20,000 feet. And I want you to consider this because I think one of the problems a lot of us have is that we think that hiring is simply posting a job ad asking a couple of questions, living on a prayer and offering the job, and hoping that they don't show like ghost us and that they show up, am I right? I know I'm talking to some of you out there. And if that's the way your process is right now, I cannot stress enough how much things need to change. And so I'm gonna give you three things to focus on not the full 10 I'm gonna give you three high level sections almost to focus on. And so or rather four, I guess. And we're gonna really talk about this because this is something that you really have to hone in on. So the very first one is your ideal candidate, and having a pulse and breathing. And showing up to an interview is not enough. Okay, I know like leave those for like McDonald's and Wendy's and Burger King and Taco Bell. Alright, leave those people for them. All right, you are not looking for that kind of person, you are looking for an empathetic person, you are looking for a nurturing person, someone who is a good communicator, detail-oriented, a pet lover, all like trainable a follower, you're looking for all those kinds of things. And so the best thing you can do is create characters like you are creating a screenplay for a movie, I want to know everything about these people, I want you to tell me who they are, what they like, what they fear what they want, I want all of it. And when you do that, it's going to help you so much. Because when you start to write that hiring ad, you're gonna be Well, it's kind of like writing a love letter to them. And when you post these hiring ads, so many of you that come to me, thankfully, you guys come to me if you have jazz HR, and it's not working for you. It's you that's not working. And I don't mean that to sound mean. But you got to email me and you got to talk to me about it, because jazz HR has transformed so many of my clients,
