## Resource

Most job descriptions are copy-pasted from Google, and that's exactly why so many hires don't work out. In this minisode, we break down performance-based hiring: a practical, 5-step approach to building your HR process around actual output, not vague titles. Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Why the generic JD is killing your hiring process ✅ How I have used the SMART method to define real, measurable expectations ✅ Why you should never hire alone ✅ The "devil's advocate" step most founders skip ✅ How to assess for the soft skills that don't show up on a resume Plus some hiring drawings from BSK and SAGE's own processes.
