You will receive exclusive access to our online training center, a customized game plan for implementing the Core Fit Blueprint, with continuous learning and development, a dedicated support team, regular assessments, access to exclusive resources, and a community of like-minded professionals. In short, you get end-to-end support on implementing the most effective system for hiring. ### Do you do the hiring for me? No. We “teach you how to fish.” In other words, we give you all the skills to hire independently, anytime you need. Not only is this a more effective way to hire, but it’s also more affordable. You’ll never have to outsource your hiring needs again. ### What kind of results can I expect? Our clients receive an application rate that is 600% higher than the industry average. We’ve even had clients fill more than 50 positions in just 90 days. These are the kinds of results you can expect, too. During our first week working together we’ll outline your goals to determine the best way to help you achieve them. ### How long is the program? Implementing the entire system takes time. Most companies we work with complete the program within 24 to 36 months. ### When do we meet? All of our sessions are online using the Zoom video platform. Training resources and materials are easily accessible on-demand through our learning management system. ### How much does the program cost? We work with a variety of business sizes and customize the fees based on YOUR company and needs. We suggest registering for a free discovery call to discuss your company’s needs. ### I'm busy running my own business, how am I supposed to find time to learn this program? We know how time-consuming running a service business can be. That’s why we have designed our process to fit naturally in your operations and busy schedule. Once learned, the program will save you time by making hiring and retaining employees far more efficient.
