In this video Evan answers this question: What Is the IDEAL Application PROCESS?

Here's the Automated Transcript:
00:00
what fuse the ideal application process
00:02
how does it look to interviews
00:04
are the interviews are the interviews
00:06
with an hr department oh okay so i think
00:08
most job interview most interviews
00:09
actually are useless
00:11
so how do we do we'll have a we'll have
00:14
two processes one i just may
00:15
like you and i then try to find a way to
00:17
work together even if i don't have a job
00:19
opening
00:20
right but assuming we're doing a job
00:22
posting then the process looks like this
00:25
we'll do a job posting
00:27
uh it'll be one big long ugly
00:30
nasty paragraph i don't make it easy
00:34
because
00:35
i need somebody i need people on my team
00:37
who are detail-oriented because i'm not
00:38
always the most detail-oriented
00:40
so the first test right away is look for
00:42
detail-orientedness so it'll be one
00:44
ugly the job posting is one ugly
00:46
paragraph
00:47
in the middle of that paragraph will be
00:49
some kind of
00:51
uh skill testing question like tell me
00:53
how many subscribers i have on youtube
00:56
right not a super complex one right a
00:58
pretty easy one
01:00
80 percent of the people never read that
01:04
um part of the posting and
01:08
i'll say in the first line of your job
01:12
application please tell me how many
01:13
subscribers i have on youtube right
01:15
so 80 of people never read it they've
01:17
applied to your job but they never read
01:18
that part
01:20
and so what ends up happening is you get
01:22
stuck
01:23
spending all this time reading people's
01:24
job applications but they spent zero
01:26
time actually reading your
01:28
proposal right your your job posting
01:32
so i want to flip it right because if
01:34
they see
01:35
whatever programmer so they just apply
01:38
and then they put the work on you
01:40
to actually read their cover letter and
01:41
read their resume they just copy paste
01:43
it a million times
01:44
and they didn't actually care about the
01:45
job yet
01:46
[Music]
01:47
and so i want to flip it like if you're
01:48
not going to put in the work that you
01:50
read my job at i'm not going to read
01:51
your resume so i don't care about your
01:52
work history i don't care where you came
01:54
from i don't care about
01:55
anything if you did not answer that
01:57
first question
01:58
then i'm not a trashman i'm not looking
02:01
at your
02:02
proposal at all uh so that's 20
02:06
of the people already gone like this is
02:07
how you save time in the in the hiring
02:09
process
02:10
next is you'll get five percent of
02:12
people who
02:14
say okay tell me what your youtube
02:16
channel is and i'll tell you
02:17
how many subscribers you have right like
02:21
listen you're gonna have to have a
02:22
little bit of resource on this right
02:23
it's not that hard to go
02:24
look up evan carmichael youtube and find
02:26
my channel right so if you can't handle
02:29
something like that it's probably not
02:30
gonna be you know a fit we need a little
02:32
bit of
02:32
resourcefulness here right just kind of
02:34
basic stuff here
02:36
so now you're down to 15 great so what
02:38
happens next what happens next is i do a
02:41
trial i do a paid trial
02:42
i give them a job that i think will take
02:45
two hours to do
02:47
and i'll give them up to five hours to
02:49
do it so paid trial
02:51
everybody if that last fifteen percent
02:54
everybody automatically gets offered a
02:56
pay trial
02:57
automatically no interviews
03:00
pay trial let's start working together i
03:02
give them a job that i think will take
03:04
two hours
03:05
and i'll give them up to five hours to
03:06
do it so why that well one
03:09
i hate micromanaging so i'm not gonna be
03:11
the person micromanaging looking at your
03:13
computer
03:13
looking over all your work like if
03:15
that's what you need then you shouldn't
03:17
be at my company it's just not going to
03:18
be good fit
03:19
so i need somebody who can self-manage
03:21
and who is honest
03:23
so if i give them a task that should
03:25
take two hours but i'm gonna pay them
03:26
for up to five hours
03:28
what happens well if they take five
03:30
hours either one them milking me right
03:32
they're ripping me off like oh he's not
03:33
gonna pay attention and they're just
03:34
trying to max
03:35
max out the five hours great awesome
03:38
you're not getting hired
03:40
or you're just really slow like that job
03:42
should have taken you
03:43
two hours but it took you five you're
