In this brief dialogue, two speakers discuss a structured approach to hiring a production manager for painting businesses generating $500K–$2M in revenue. They emphasize first clarifying the role and the human qualities needed—defining key accountabilities, traits, attributes, and skills. They then craft a job description designed to attract candidates with the ideal personality type, leveraging assessment tools such as the DiSC assessment to evaluate both the hiring team and prospective hires. The conversation highlights the high stakes of a bad hire for a first major position and presents a systematic method to reduce hiring pain.

Chapters

One of the interesting things that you did for my company when we worked with you was you developed a job description that attracted ideal personality type that this person should have. Then we drafted a job description to attract that type of person. You use some pretty cool assessments. A part of that is the DiSC assessment. A lot of folks between $500K and $2 million, they're looking to hire a production manager. Might be their first big hire. They might have hired crews before, or maybe a salesperson. If you get those hires wrong, it could be pretty painful.
Painful. We got clear about the job first. You need to get clear about the role itself and get clear about the human that will do that role. What are the traits and attributes and skills? Once we get clear about what that person will do, we describe what their key accountabilities are. Then we use those assessment tools for the business owner or the hiring team to go and measure what are the traits, skills, attributes of a human that would fit that role perfectly and fit in our company.
