Building a Team

You want to build a dream team to get after the God-sized vision for your organization.

You've tried go-it-alone, search committees, website postings, your alma-mater, new web platforms that over-promise,
a headhunter, that other headhunter, your friend's new head hunter agency, and all of the social media.

And you are still left wondering
where the next leader is coming from.

Think Differently

Do you know anybody?

The question "do you know anybody?" has been unanswered long before The Great Resignation of 2021. Like many issues, COVID has simply exposed and accelerated the problem of finding great staff and building a great team to achieve your mission.

This is harder than ever.

We can debate all day as to how we got here, but there is no magic solution to fix this issue. We may forever need head hunters and staffing agencies, and we definitely need to grow our own leaders through residency internally, but we also need to think differently.

We need to train our organization to think as a recruiter thinks...always looking whether we are hiring or not.

We must build a small audience of people who love our organization and want to work with us when the time is right. What if we could actually help those who are looking for their next step to the point that they feel a little indebted to us and will partner to help us find the right person whether it's them or not?

In essence, we must dig the pond from where we will fish to move forward in this culture. If we don't we will forever be enslaved to expensive and long searches that net too little too late.

Think Like a Recruiter

What if your team could:

Be trained to think like a recruiter
Learn how to spend no more than 30 minutes per week expanding your organization's reach in recruiting 10x or 50x
Learn the powerful difference between just networking vs. recruiting
Learn what to do next in finding their next teammate
Believe that recruiting is not a department or just one person's responsibility, it's what we all do

What This Isn't

This is not another pitch for head-hunting
An over-promised one-off assessment that leaves you hanging & needing something else

“Lp has helped us tremendously with increasing our reach in recruiting for our hires. Helping us build a system of communication with candidates has helped us as we’ve added so many new hires to the team in the last couple of years. It now feels like we are always recruiting whether we are hiring or not, and this gives my leadership team confidence that the next candidate will be there when we need one.”

Matt McKay, Founder/HouseRight.com | Lexington, KY

"Dave and his team spent a session with our team training us in all things recruiting. We’re an awesome place to work, but in a tough town in which to recruit church leaders. I think the six of us all walked into the room thinking we’d 'asked everybody that we knew' to try to get our positions filled. A couple of hours later we had about 8 dozen names to go follow up with. Turns out we were more networked than we thought, we just needed to see it differently and that session was invaluable in helping us do just that.”

Mitch Harrison, Executive Pastor, Canyon Ridge Church of 3,500/ Las Vegas

we want to train
your team to
think like a recruiter

Four Steps to Thinking Like a Recruiter

ASSESS. On-site and via Zoom. A look at your team gifting, aptitudes, and abilities within each team and department. Where are our gaps? What does this team need in 6 to 18 months to execute what is next for our organization?

Expect four days both on-site with group and individual engagement as well as zoom (if required) to deliver a four-page pdf executive summary.

TRAIN. We will train your entire team in the art of recruiting. We will teach your team the art of 10x relational power of getting the word out and how to think like a recruiter. We will show them how one hour per week from everyone will net the results your organization needs.

Expect this delivered via zoom with follow-up as required.

CONSTRUCT. We will work with those involved with the communications in your organization (either paid staff or volunteers) to build an automated tool that will be used for recruiting.

Expect a landing page on your website, Mailchimp (or your choice) of automated messaging, custom-written campaigns in your voice to serve an audience of interested individuals.

COACH. For the next 12 months, we will work with you through all staffing needs of your organization including job descriptions, interview processes, vetting, and onboarding.

Expect priority access to Dave, his team, and his network for a year. No matter how many hires you need to make in the next twelve months. There will be periods of intense work and others that are not.
