Solve your #1 problem affecting your career and financial success.

Your #1 problem is making hiring mistakes. It is costly, pervasive in your company, and preventable.

The solution is Topgrading®, which is a talent management philosophy co-created by Geoff Smart. Come learn the most practical, simple, and entertaining insights into how you can improve your hiring success rate from 25% to 90%.

Geoff is Chairman & CEO of ghSMART, the leading management assessment firm for CEOs and investors. Geoff and his company have trained over 30,000 CEOs and senior executives of global companies and entrepreneurial firms like yours. Geoff and his team just completed a 2-year study on hiring, which is the most thorough and most expensive research ever done on the topic. He interviewed over 20 billionaires, and 30 CEOs of large and small companies to listen to their best advice and stories on the topic of hiring. Come learn what insights will be released in his forthcoming book StreetSmart Hiring: A Solution to Every Manager’s #1 Problem (Random House, 2008). Geoff has conducted over a dozen workshops like this for Gazelles in 3 countries, and consistently achieves top audience satisfaction ratings.

  • Become skilled at identifying what kind of talent you need at your company.
  • Learn how to generate a source of candidates.
