A few useful answers.

How is the system delivered?

You receive a private download page after payment, with an access link sent to your email. Download the videos and PDFs to keep and share within your organization. Your private access link is valid for 30 days. After it expires, contact jill@leadershipiq.com to request a new link. Your company’s license to use the saved materials continues.

Do we need to replace our existing hiring process?

No. Start by adding the attitude questions and answer guidelines to the interviews you already run. You can put the tools to use right away and work through the training at your own pace.

Will this work for our industry?

The system draws on research across industries, company sizes, and roles. Choose the attitudes relevant to your position. Use the training and Brown Shorts worksheet to define what those attitudes look like in your organization.

Is this the same as buying the book?

The book explains the ideas. The Turnkey System includes the interview tools, 60 real candidate answers, recruiting resources, training videos, and a private one-hour consultation with Mark.
