What is the Who Method?

The Who Method, also known as The A Method for Hiring, is a proven framework designed to improve hiring outcomes and reduce the guesswork in recruitment. For over 16 years, it has remained the #1 ranked approach to solving the biggest problem in business: getting the right people in the right roles.

Why it matters:

• Traditional hiring often has only a 50% success rate — essentially the odds of a coin toss.

• The Who Method applies structure, clarity, and rigor so you can consistently find and retain A Players.

Core elements of the Who Method:

1. Scorecard – Define success before you start the search.

2. Source – Build and maintain a pipeline of candidates.

3. Select – Use structured interviews to identify A Players.

4. Sell – Convince the right candidate to join your company.

Key takeaway:
The Who Method ensures you hire with purpose, not luck, dramatically increasing the chances that your next hire becomes an A Player.
