By the creators of
DO ANY OF THESE SOUND LIKE YOU?
A Building Products Business Owner who knows that people are the key to building the business and legacy you want to create, but you're losing hope that you can actually find, hire, and keep the people you need.
A Building Products Manufacturer, Dealer, or Distributor that is looking to position their business for sale and knows that without the right people in place you won't get top dollar (and may not ever get an offer)
A High-Achieving Executive with an equity stake that understands that a high-performing team is the key to the payday you're working so hard for, but you're frustrated and disappointed with the quality and quantity of applicants you're seeing.
A General manager who has full profit and loss accountability that understands that the quality of their team members directly correlated to the size of their bonus and knows they're leaving money on the table by not having a stronger team.
IF SO, THEN WE'D BET ONE OF THESE IS ALSO TRUE
Recruiting, Hiring, and Retaining top performing employees has been the obstacle that's been holding you back from building the business you know is possible
You know your business has the potential to be a powerhouse, and you know - in your gut - that without the right recruiting and hiring practice you won't be able to reach your potential and leave the legacy you want.
You're ready to grow and if you could find and hire the right people you'd add locations, product lines, or divisions to your business in the next 12 months.
You're doing everything you can think of and still not seeing the level of talent you want - leaving you feeling even more frustrated and doubtful that the talent you need to grow even exists.
You know your business hasn't hit it's highest potential, but it feels as though it could - if you could find the right people.
WE'RE SO GLAD YOU FOUND US

In the LBM industry, hiring has perplexed many hiring managers and companies, oftentimes leading to less than satisfactory results. I have had the pleasure of both knowing Rikka personally and working with her for several years, and have watched her endeavor to transform the way that we as an industry think about hiring. Rikka is truly a visionary in her field and believes that the psychology and strategy of hiring are not exclusive of one another. >>>>> She has the unique ability to quantify and qualify what may be of benefit to you and your company, even when you may be struggling for clarity of thought. Adept at drawing out the “WIMI” (what is most important), she then will collaborate to construct a strategy, then advise and coach on the tactical process to ensure the highest results. Perhaps most impressive about Rikka is her ability to succinctly analyze information and trends as our industry continues to evolve, and then pivot and adapt strategy to suit the framework of the operating environment. Never one to let you rest on your laurels, she will push you to succeed — and then celebrate your successes with you. I think you will learn much from this book; I know that I did. And if you are fortunate enough to connect with Rikka — do it! She is an advocate for LBM, and will be for you and your company!
Dena, Kodiak
For a recent opening, we first turned to our usual recruiting methods of ads in the paper and through Indeed. But when few enticing prospects turned up, we knew we had to try something different. After seeing a presentation and reading trade articles by Rikka, we decided to give her a shot. The process was perfect—very smooth. We gave her our guidelines, and she learned our culture. Within a week we had what we thought was a perfect candidate. Seeing the process through Rikka’s eyes also helped our team learn more effective ways of remaining an attractive company to qualified candidates. She’s brought a lot of interesting information to us that we might not have thought of on our own because we’re not hiring specialists.
