Joe Fier recommends hiring candidates for a paid trial week instead of traditional interviews. Set up tasks on a Trello board in order, watch how fast they move through them, how often they communicate, and how well they execute. You learn more in five days than five rounds of interviews.

The single best way to screen your candidate is to hire people for a trial week. And I've created this system where basically the trial week is composed on a trello board. You can do it on anything you want, right? But I use trello. So it's sort of like once they're hired and they sign the agreement for this trial week, they log in and it's sort of like, step one, step two, step three, tag me when you're finished, then you have these different tasks all laid out and there's nothing that is going to shine a brighter light on the perfect. Who is the person who is the right match for you than this? Because not only are you sort of seeing how they work, right? Are they pinging you every five minutes? Are they. I can see how fast they're moving through the tasks. We've just had so much success teaching the trial week system and doing it ourselves as we grow our own team, that I. I just want to do a trial week for everything in my life.
