Listen Intently
- Candidates may not talk openly about pushes, but
listening carefully may give you a good sense of
what they are.
- Uncover all questions and concerns about joining
your company well before the offer is made.
*Ask yourself: “Is this candidate closeable?“

Mini Board Meeting
Timeline
![Page 16: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A Mini Board Meeting is a chance
for your prospective executive to present a strategy plan to your leadership team or board, ensuring both parties are aligned.
![Page 17: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- Ask the candidate to prepare a plan that outlines
how he/she will approach the new role.
- Do this before making the final offer.
- This works for any executive position; not just a
CEO reporting to a board. A VP candidate should
do this with the CEO.
Mini Board Meeting
![Page 18: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Work to disagreement. The goal is to make sure you and the candidate understand how to work through situations where you disagree, prior to formally working together.
![Page 19: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Referencing
![Page 20: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Referencing is the best predictor of a successful hire. Even more than interviewing.
![Page 21: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
- Look for patterns. Find developmental areas.
- Dig deep into candidate’s past experience.
- Don’t be afraid to ask:
“What?”, “How?”, and “Tell me more..”
A 360 Degree Process
*Ask yourself: “Do I want to manage this person?“
![Page 22: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The goal is to eliminate surprises after the hire.
![Page 23: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Compensation
![Page 24: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
- Learn the candidate’s expectations early on. Ask
about compensation in his/her last few roles.
- If you are worried about your ability to close the
candidate at this point, start to work on their
expectations and see if you can get them more
aligned with where you believe your offer will
land.
The Compensation Trap
![Page 25: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
- Continue to develop a clear understanding of the
candidate’s situation.
- At the end of the process, once all other issues
have been resolved, give the candidate a sense
of what the compensation package will look like.
- This should be the last thing you discuss before
the final offer.
The Last Thing
![Page 26: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Offer

- By the time you are ready to make your offer, the
candidate should be able to look you in the eye
and say “I want the job.” If the person can’t do
that, you have more work to do.
- If you sense hesitation, figure out the source of
reluctance and manage it.
Reading the Candidate
![Page 28: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
- Once you’re confident all concerns are addressed,
you are ready to make the offer.
- At this point, you should have confidence that
when you make the offer it will be accepted.
- You should be able to sense a high level of
enthusiasm and commitment from the candidate.
The Final Step
*Note: Always make the offer in person.
![Page 29: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Don’t ask:
“Are you ready for an offer?”
![Page 30: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Do ask:
“Are you ready to join the company?”
![Page 31: Blueprint for Executive Hiring](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051706/58f9a76a760da3da068b5996/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
