Hiring can be one of the most nerve-wracking functions of owning a business. If you choose the right person, your business flourishes with fresh energy and productivity. If you make the wrong choice, you could lose valuable time, resources, and momentum.  

For many of the entrepreneurs I speak with, the stress of finding a great hire quickly – and without the risk of costly mistakes – can feel overwhelming.  

The truth is, most small and midsize businesses are terrible at hiring – and they know it. For 84.3% of small business owners, hiring is a challenge, and 60.7% say it is their top challenge.  

At WorkBetterNow (WBN), we specialize in taking the uncertainty out of hiring.  

Our streamlined processes eliminate the risk of bad hires, providing you with top-tier candidates and standing by you every step of the way. 

Here’s how WBN turns hiring from a potential headache into a smooth, risk-free experience.

Save Time with Streamlined Processes 

By the time a small or midsize business owner makes the decision to hire, the need for that role has often been growing for weeks, or even months. Every day the position remains unfilled can lead to operational bottlenecks, missed opportunities or team burnout.  

Unfortunately, traditional hiring methods are time-consuming, with the average process taking a staggering 44 days (and even longer for specialized roles). 

The problem is, most businesses don’t have hiring processes that have been tuned to perfection and lack hiring expertise – despite so much being on the line with each hire. 

WBN flips the script on exhaustive and laborious hiring methods using the two following  trademarked processes.  

Top Talent Filter™: The Foundation for High-Quality Talent  

At the core of WBN’s approach is our proprietary Top Talent Filter™. Before a client even reaches out to us, their future hire has already been carefully vetted. 

Every WorkBetterNow applicant undergoes our rigorous, proprietary Top Talent Filter™ — a screening process designed to ensure our clients have access to only the best talent. With over 4,000 applications received each month, only approximately the top 2% qualify as WBN Certified Professionals™. 

By maintaining these high standards, we save our clients valuable time by presenting only top-tier candidates who meet the mark. 

Beyond technical qualifications, this rigorous filtering process also evaluates both hard and soft skills, laying the foundation for a seamless hiring experience. 

This meticulous process ensures that every professional in our talent pool is highly skilled and ready to work with your team. 

Precision Match™: Your Secret Weapon for Hiring  

Another area of concern in a normal hiring process is ensuring the new hire is the right fit. Thanks to WorkBetterNow’s proprietary Precision Match™ system, those worries can be a thing of the past. 

This process goes beyond the surface-level qualifications to ensure candidates are not only skilled but also the perfect fit for your company’s needs, goals and culture:  

1. The applicant alignment process allows WBN Certified Professionals™ to opt-in for consideration based on role requirements, as well as your company’s vision and values. 

1. A streamlined 60-minute interview process allows you (or your team) to meet and evaluate three carefully matched candidates individually, quickly and easily. 

1. Post-interview feedback from both your company and your selected candidate helps ensure expectations are aligned, making it a true two-way decision. 

This multi-step process and attention to detail drastically reduces the chances of a mismatch, setting you up for success right from the start. 

Committed to Getting it Right  

No hiring process is perfect, and even with the most rigorous vetting, sometimes a candidate and client may not be fully aligned. But here’s where WBN truly stands out: we take the stress out of these situations. 

If a match seems off, your Talent Partner and Talent Coordinator work closely with you to address the challenge — including onboarding support and integration guidance — and in most cases, this successfully strengthens the match. 

At WBN, your dedicated support team includes a Client Consultant (your initial advisor and guide during the hiring process), a Talent Partner (your ongoing strategic point of contact after placement), and a Talent Coordinator (who works directly with your Certified Professional to support their onboarding and day-to-day success). 

If, after these efforts, it becomes clear that the hire still isn’t the right fit, WBN will quickly source and present a new candidate so your business doesn’t lose momentum. 

These situations are rare thanks to the care we put into our Top Talent Filter™ and Precision Match™ systems. In fact, while most businesses have only an 80% retention rate for new hires after 90 days, 93% of WBN matches succeed at the 90-day mark. But if a match doesn’t work out, you can rest easy knowing WBN is there to make it right. 

Mitigating Legal and Financial Risks  

One of the biggest challenges of traditional hiring is the risk of a bad hire. If a new employee doesn’t work out, your business could face costly unemployment claims — which can increase your unemployment insurance rates and create administrative and legal headaches. 

With WBN, this risk is significantly reduced. Not only do we rigorously vet candidates, but if a match isn’t the right fit, we work with you to resolve it or quickly present a new candidate — helping you avoid the financial and operational burden of starting over. 

You can focus on growing your business while we handle the behind-the-scenes complexities, giving you peace of mind and a cost-effective solution.

Our processes are built for speed; you can start working with candidates without any upfront costs. If you decide to proceed, you’ll only be charged a simple flat monthly fee for the Certified Professional. There are no placement fees or binding long-term commitments.
