# What is the Who Method?

## The A Method for Hiring explained

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.
