“When implementing a basic principle within Oisin’s hiring consultation, I was able to not only attract better staff, but also, hire better quality staff at a greater value point. It came down to one principle which Oisin teaches, that is so basic, but I know so many employers miss.

While I’ve been writing a lot lately on the subject of hiring, the subject and its application is far broader. Hiring requires knowledge of people.

Knowledge of people is useful in every aspect of life.

You will find my articles simple, because the basics of any subject are simple. When life or business gets complex, it’s gone off track.

Why we should all help entrepreneurs and leaders

It is my observation and belief that entrepreneurs and artist make the world a much more interesting place! These people create the businesses and jobs for everyone.

Imagine a world without music, computers, start-ups, new technologies, movies etc. Every single one starts with an idea.

Artists and entrepreneurs create these ideas and these are brought to life by managers and leaders and the hard working, valuable people of the world.

People don’t go home at the end of the week looking to consume the products of accountants or lawyers! 

You go home looking forward to watching a movie...

Not all work is created equal, that’s obvious. Some people think work is looking “busy”, or turning up and sitting in a chair. Some people’s “work” has to be fixed, re-done, and some people’s work is highly valuable.

The word “work” has gotten confused. So let’s clarify what we mean by the word “work.”

An activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a result.

But we don’t want any result. We want valuable results. So I’ve coined the term Vwork which means Valuable work.

The flip side is Xwork work is eXtra Work that is not valuable. Xwork is any time-wasting activity that produces no result and adds no value to your organization (or life).

Dwork is Destructive work. It is the complete opposite of Vwork. It has negative value. It ruins, harms and tears down what you’ve built.

With these new words, we now know exactly the kind of results we want in our new recruits, franchisees, business partners, husbands, wives and all other relatio...

You thought this was going to work out great, but now, after a few weeks, months or years, you realised you’ve hired the wrong person.

They might have lied in the interview, made promises they didn’t keep, or committed to a start date and then took another job offer.

Now you have to start all over again.

One of my clients previously spent $24,000, hired the wrong person, fired them and had to start over. He was very disappointed, but he was one of the lucky ones.

Others I know have had new recruits cause so much damage it costs several hundred thousand in lost business and legal fees.

There is a better way. You can decide to control your entire hiring process and learn how to attract valuable people or, if you’re a little pressed for time, we can do it with you.

The Vwork Hiring System provides a step-by-step process, from designing the role specifications, to advertising, the interview process, all the way through to making the decision and bring the new recruit on...

Need a great salesperson?

Need an effective manager?

Need someone to do the hiring for you?

Let me help you find someone truly valuable.

I call them Vwork People. Vwork means Valuable work.

We use the Vwork™ Hiring Laws to ensure you attract Vwork People, and avoid those who create eXtra Work (Xwork People), and those who are destructive (Dwork People).

Getting the right people helps you achieve your business goals faster. Avoiding the wrong types of people ensures you don’t suffer any unnecessary problems or setbacks.

The Vwork Hiring System is an entire process: Starting from clearly identifying the role, planning the advertising campaign, conducting interviews (with a specific list of questions), to choosing the right candidate and successfully onboarding them through a probation period.

The end goal of any hiring is clearly stated with this Vwork Hiring Law:

Growing your business? Know you need to get your hiring right?

The Vwork Hiring System is now available and contains everything you need to:

1. Design the right hiring process.
2. Attract the right people through ads.
3. Ask the right questions in interviews to cut through the noise (and lies).
4. Use the Vwork (Valuable Work) criteria to choose productive, willing people who will truly help you build your business and not tear it to pieces, or act like a dead weight.

With the Vwork Hiring System you can Do It Yourself (DIY) and save thousands on your next recruit. Or, we can Do it With You (DWY) and train one of your team, so that all future recruitment will cost you nothing.

In both cases, you’ll be hiring Vwork People who add value to your team and you’ll save a heap of money.

What do Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer and others predators have in common?

Dwork

Dwork is defined as Destructive Work.

Activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a destructive purpose or result.

Dwork People ruin people’s lives, rob value from organisations and take the fun out of your life or career.

Sexual abuse is high on the Dwork scale. Murder is at the top with genocide even higher (e.g. Hitler).

Murder is an obvious example, but what about “slow murder”, or “death by a thousand paper cuts”. This goes on daily in every country, every society and many, many organisations.

It’s not easy to face that people deliberately create Dwork results. That’s why they get away with it so much. It’s harder when they are in a position of power, a media personality, rich business person, your boss or manager.

The Weinstein Effect and #metoo

Why do people tolerate this behaviour?

There’s a new term: The Weinstein Effect. One person comes forward, t...

Toxic people come in many forms: Manipulators, con-artists, haters, bad news merchants, thieves, critics, criminals, victims, and of course assholes!

No matter what you call them, or what they look like — they destroy and tear down the valuable people in business and businesses. That’s why I call them Dwork™ People. They are Destructive. They un-build people and businesses. It’s even worse when they are managers…

They are the opposite of Vwork People. Value is what you want in any relationship, business or personal.

Value is the degree to which someone or something is important or useful.

Then there’s those who aren’t downright destructive yet create an endless parade of extra or wasteful work. It may not be destructive but it isn’t valuable! These I call Xwork People — they create extra work.

Your ultimate success depends on surrounding yourself with Vwork People.

That is why hiring is so important in every organisation or group.
