"How to work towards growing the company"
First, we want to let you know we are both extremely impressed with your program and the coaching you provide. Your program was tremendously helpful and life changing and has given us a clear direction on how to work towards growing the company. The past couple of months was a big challenge for all of us. We were truly impressed with how you helped guide us through such a drastic and unprecedented time for business. Yosef feels he is in a very good place and we both look forward to continue to work with you to grow the company to a new level.

"Set goals and negotiate outcomes"
I worked together with Jacob Engel for several years, dealing with issues relating to generational succession in family businesses. I watched him set goals and negotiate outcomes in his own family business, in which he was the third generation leader.

71% of new hires are mismatches.
Yours don’t have to be.
Every hire is mission-critical, shaping your team, your culture, and your bottom line. And yet, most hiring decisions are still based on resumes, gut feel, and quick interviews. This means:
But what if you could see the full picture before you made the offer?
What if you could accurately predict performance and fit, instead of hoping for the best?

-
How long does the entire hiring process take using Hire Authority?Our Core Assessment package delivers actionable insights within 48 hours, making it ideal for fast-moving situations. For more complex roles, our Full Process offers a deeper analysis and matching, typically taking 5–10 business days, depending on the volume and level of the role.
-
Will this take more time than our current hiring process?In many cases, no - it actually saves time by filtering unqualified candidates early and surfacing best-fit talent faster. While our full process may take slightly longer upfront, it reduces time spent on misaligned interviews and second-guessing later.
-
What do candidates say about your process?Candidates often tell us they feel seen, understood, and valued. Many say it's the most thoughtful and personalized hiring experience they've encountered, with a strong emphasis on long-term fit rather than just ticking boxes.
-
How do you handle confidential searches when we don't want our current employees to know we're hiring?We’ve built protocols for discreet and confidential searches, including anonymized job postings, non-disclosure agreements with candidates, and white-glove outreach to ensure your search stays under the radar.
-
Will this approach work for remote or hybrid teams?Definitely. In fact, our process is especially effective for remote and hybrid teams, where culture fit, communication styles, and self-management are even more critical to success.
-
Can this work for any position or just certain types of roles?Hire Authority is effective across a wide range of positions - from entry-level to executive leadership. Our system customizes assessments to each role’s specific needs. That said, our process delivers the highest ROI in roles where soft skills, adaptability, and team fit are crucial.
-
Do we need special technology to implement your system?No special tech is required. Our platform is cloud-based and plug-and-play, with easy integration into most ATS platforms or workflows. If you can use email and a browser, you can use Hire Authority.
-
Can we still use our existing job boards and recruitment channels?Absolutely. Our platform enhances - not replaces - your existing channels. You can continue sourcing candidates however you prefer, and simply direct them into our system for evaluation.
-
I'm worried candidates will be turned off by assessments. Is this a concern?We’ve designed our assessments to be engaging, relevant, and respectful of candidates’ time. Most complete them in 30 minutes or less. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive—candidates appreciate the opportunity to show more than just their résumé.
-
How does your pricing compare to traditional recruiters?We typically cost a fraction of what traditional recruiters charge, especially when you factor in reduced turnover and increased quality of hire. Our pricing is transparent, flexible, and tailored to your hiring needs.
-
Do you work with companies in our industry?Most likely, yes. Our clients span tech, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and more. If your industry involves people working together toward common goals, our platform can help.
-
Can this replace our HR team or internal hiring process?Hire Authority is not a replacement - it’s a powerful enhancement. Your HR team brings critical context and human judgment. We provide the data, insights, and structure to help them make better, faster, and more confident decisions.
-
What happens if our selected candidate doesn't work out despite your process?While our process significantly reduces the risk of a mis-hire, we understand that no system is perfect. That’s why we offer guaranteed support, including replacement search options and deep-dive insights into what went wrong, to help you refine your next hire.
