Welcome to the ONLY Recruiting and Retention education you'll ever need to FIND, 

HIRE, and KEEP the talent you need to fuel your business's profitable growth.

I'M READY! LET'S DO THIS!

DO ANY OF THESE SOUND LIKE YOU? 

A Multi 6, 7, or 8-Figure 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 Business Owner 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  applicants (or lack thereof) 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 that ties profit to the bottom line

A Visionary CEO tired of taking on more, feeling the weight of damaged morale, significant reduction in productivity and poor client service delivery.

 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

This is where you keep twisting the knife... when they try to solve the problem, things get worse.

IF SO, THEN WE'D BET ONE OF THESE IS ALSO TRUE

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 has the potential to be a powerhouse, and you know - in your gut - that without the right talent acquisition and hiring practice you won't be able to reach your potential and leave the legacy you want. 

You know your business hasn't hit it's highest potential.  But you know it could - if you could find the right people.

WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

GET READY BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO TURN IT ALL AROUND...

We are a team of strategic recruiting and retention experts who teach business owners and leaders to understand and execute on best-in-class recruiting and retention practices - with all of the training you need - in one place - to turn your potential into profit through people

Want to easily find and hire the talent you need to add zeros to your revenue every month like clockwork?

Here's What You Really Need (& NO ONE is TEACHING YOU) To Scale Your  Business

...You need world-class recruiting and hiring practices that are easy to understand and implement, so you can step into your role as visionary CEO and stop being held back by an inability to find and hire the people you need to grow your business. 

...You need your people to be profit centers, not cost centers. You can't grow your business if you're bleeding cash through under-performing employees. But, It's been HARD to find people with the experience you need and frankly, you've started to settle because you've lost confidence you can find anyone better. That's why we created the Hire Power Process - to show you how small tweaks can lead to drastically better results. So you can start  getting better results, even as you build the recruiting and hiring practices you need to do become the employer of choice in your market. 

...You need access to an expert in every area of attraction, interviewing, and actually keeping that team as you grow - providing tailored, personalized advice and answers to your questions - you never stay stuck. With Recruit, Retain Rock, you get access to the expertise you need for every step of your growth journey. 

...You need 360 support and accountability - where you can talk to a human when you need guidance, motivation, support, and direction. We're here to help you get the results you want, even if that includes reminding you how important this is to your business when you get busy working "in" your business. 

You get it ALL in the

This one thing that repeatedly frustrates otherwise strong business owners is the hiring learning curve. 

Which is exactly why you need all-in-one hiring education that shows you how to graduate from best-guessing to best practices.

Let's us teach you some rock solid recruiting and retention strategies, so you can stop drowning in the day-to-day of your business - and instead, step into your position as a MARKET LEADER. 

WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, YOU'LL BE SET UP FOR BULLETPROOF SUCCESS.

You can finally scale your business and experience the freedom and financial rewards you need to bring your legacy forward. 

Recruit Retain Rock will show you how to put the right strategy, systems, and team in place to accomplish the slam-dunk, home-run level of success you know is possible for you and your business.

“I learned that I wasn’t taking the extra effort I needed to get the type of employee I wanted. After only two weeks of performing interviews as suggested by Rikka, I hired an excellent employee! Not only is my new employee helping me grow my practice, but Rikka’s advice and insight have made me smarter and thus, more profitable. RIkka has made me a stronger business owner. Now I can spend more time focusing on the part of the business that I love to do, clinical dentistry.”

“Rikka is truly a visionary in her field and believes that the psychology and strategy of hiring are not exclusive to 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 ‘what’s most important’, she then will collaborate to construct a strategy, then advise and coach on the tactical process to ensure 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.”

-Dena Cordova- Jack, VP of Organization Development, Kodiak Building Partners

“Seeing the process through Rikka’s eyes also helped the 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.”
