How to Hire and Keep Great People
Created 7 years ago in Business / Getting Started

Good help has always been hard to find and today's competitive labor market is making it more difficult than ever.
I have hired, managed, trained, promoted and fired scores of people throughout my career and have created a 12-step process based upon my experience that any business owner or manager can use to attract, vet, hire and retain top-quality people for any position.
The two essential elements of my approach are a focus on the needs and desires of the employee and total clarity surrounding the job description and position profile. In other words, finding someone who can - and wants to - become a rock star in this job and giving them every opportunity to succeed.
I teach this process in live seminars (soon to be an online course) and also am hired by firms of all sizes to help them fill specific positions and/or implement my process for ongoing implementation.

Over the past year Frank's generous efforts have produced prompt and long lasting positive results for my start up business. I've found his clear concise instruction to be very effective. Through Frank's webinars, workshops, and one on one direction I learned to maximize my social media efforts & boost my company's search engine visibility.

Frank's ability to effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously made him an extremely valuable asset. Success was always assured when Frank was listed on a project's team roster.
Source: LinkedIn Brian Anderson Mar 11, 2014Frank's can-do attitude and focus on the task at hand was simply amazing to watch. He was a true partner who took advice and suggestions on specific topics to heart and implemented them into his every growing set of tools in getting the job done.
What I enjoyed the most was that Frank tackled the BIG projects that no one else really had the bandwidth to execute as well as Frank had - and he constantly succeeded in this capacity.
We use many of the tools and processes that Frank installed to this day and it was a sincere pleasure to have worked with him over the past year.
Source: LinkedIn Kevin Gawthrope Mar 11, 2014Frank was a pleasure to work with and has an in-depth understanding of the training and e-learning field that only comes with experience. We worked on a project together and I was pleasantly surprised at his working knowledge of not only the software but the concepts behind the design. SilkWeb fully reccomends Frank Felker!
Source: LinkedIn Laurel Silk Mar 11, 2014I worked in the field as an Isagenix Associate. I reported to him directly about situations or problems that we were experiencing in the field.
He was a happy, pleasant person to work with and very professional. I knew whatever I reported to him that I could trust it would be addressed.
I was disappointed when I found out he was no longer with the company. The organization he decides to work with will get to experience a wonderful addition to their business team. I wish him the best.
Frank's skills and experience in a wide range of communication media were on display when we worked together at Online Select. Print, web, audio, video, conference calls - you name it - he did it all.
Source: LinkedIn Art Miller Mar 11, 2014Over the years, Frank has helped me on several projects; beginning in 1998 through this year, when I hired him to assist me with my company's email marketing strategy. At Digital Imaging Workshop, I saw firsthand how Frank took an idea and turned it into a thriving publishing and seminar business. His newsletter had subscribers from around the world, and his Digital Mastery Tour seemed to be everywhere you looked. That's when I knew Frank was a creative self-starter who will always get you the results you want.
Source: LinkedIn John Gorman Mar 11, 2014Frank interviewed me for his Radio Free Enterprise show, and it was a fantastic experience. His background and expertise in business made him a perfect interviewer for the business audience he is serving. The content and production values are top-notch. Working with Frank has been a pleasure, and I highly recommend him to any business owner, manager, or entrepreneur seeking to maximize their business and dazzle their customers.
Source: LinkedIn Marty M. Fahncke Mar 11, 2014When we needed to overhaul our website, Frank enthusiastically gave us many good ideas about organizing our marketing activity for further development. His company, Spring Lake Studios, efficiently developed a professional web site for us. This web site has been a consistent source of quality sales contacts for us.
