What is Topgrading? The Topgrading approach to hiring is not simply an evolution, it's a revolution. Topgrading’s proven methodology allows you to select the “best of the best' when looking at candidates for jobs. The happy result is that companies dramatically reduce mis-hires. Founder, Dr. Brad Smart, is frequently referred to as the #1 expert in the world on hiring; he’s published the most books on hiring. In this challenging market, any hiring mistake can be costly and a key mis-hire can be catastrophic. Topgrading is designed to make certain that you have the very best opportunity to build teams of high performers who fit your culture, from your leadership team through every level of your organization. Topgrading is a unique hiring method. It’s the only hiring method that has always focused on hiring HIGH performers, A Players. And it is the only hiring approach that solves the chronic problems of candidates fooling you (with exaggerated strengths and hidden weaker points) and weak verification of what candidates tell you. As you know, “What is measured is done.” Only Topgrading measures Quality of Hire rigorously. Go to Topgrading.com and you can read dozens of case studies in which the average result is 85% of high performers hired after implementing Topgrading (26% before Topgrading). CEOs say their companies are both more successful and profitable because of Topgrading. Our case studies have no “expiration date;” the basic principles and methods have been used by hundreds of companies for decades. Topgrading case studies show dramatic results for start-ups, small and mid-sized, as well as large companies.
