What Readers Say

“You don’t know what you don’t know.” That was the thought that came to mind when I read my first article by Rikka Brandon. I thought I had above-average skills when it came to interviewing and hiring, but I quickly learned that I still had a lot to learn.

P. Brett ThorneThe Lumberjack

This book is a gold-mine of helpful information for any entrepreneur or small business owner looking to staff their growing firm. I’ve been staffing for the corporate world for over twenty years, so I was eager to read what Rikka had to say — I found her advice spot-on. Her book is affordable and the advice is priceless.

Kelly SmithAmazon review · 20 years in corporate staffing

As a small business owner myself, I understand the pain of making a poor decision in the hiring process. It seemed like a crap-shoot to me. In Hire Power, I love that she presents a strategic and common-sense system that helps me make confident decisions, so that I’m more likely to be delighted than disappointed. It is my new bible for recruiting, developing and retaining awesome employees.

If you want to get hiring right, get this book. With clarity, expertise and a pinch of sassy humor, Rikka lets you in on the inside secrets to building great teams one great hire at a time. I wish I’d have had it years ago.
