Course overview

The Biggest Skill Gap in Business Today

Are you a founder, investor, or leader eager to elevate your team and bring your vision to life? Your success hinges on mastering one of the most important executive skills that is chronically undertaught: interviewing and assessing candidates.


And if you're like the thousands of leaders that we've previously taught, you'd likely agree that your ability to reliably attract, assess and retain top-performing talent is a top-3 skill that you need in order to be successful in your career. And yet less than 10% of business leaders have ever had extensive training in this make-or-break skill.


We exist to change that. That's why we started Talgo.


We'll show you a reliable system to identify top talent during the interview process—assessing both performance potential and cultural fit. Our course is the premier destination to hone this critical skill and unlock new levels of professional success.


We provide a comprehensive, soup-to-nuts training that equips you with the skills to figure out who you should hire for your team. At the heart of this is the ability to conduct a world-class interview and gain access to reliable, predictive data that allows you to massively increase your hiring accuracy. This is one of the most significant time and money needle movers you can possibly invest in for the rest of your career.


We've taught thousands of leaders this skill in our private trainings (see our testimonials: https://testimonials.talgo.io/all) and are excited to share this with a broader audience on Maven.

Immediately Actionable Skills. In 1 Week.

1. Align Hiring with Business Objectives

  • Translate your business needs into a Target that clarifies and organizes your entire process
  • Align on priorities, and improve your decisions with increased accuracy and reduce bias
  • Create precise targets that streamline your entire hiring process.

2. Data-Driven Interview Techniques

  • Build rapport to uncover authentic, relevant data about candidates' capabilities and motivations.
  • Master high-impact initial and follow-up questions that get past the spin and unlock predictive data about future job performance.

3. A Coordinated, Efficient Process

  • Quickly filter out mismatches with a robust screening process ("The Prospector")
  • Learn a "divide and conquer" approach to interviewing that results in far deeper and more reliable data and a better candidate experience as well.

4. Accurate Hiring Decisions. Less Bias.

  • Establish a consistent, repeatable process that prevents biased interviewing (what most people do without realizing it).
  • Learn how to make decisions based on reliable data (rather than mere gut impressions)
  • Install a process for reducing groupthink in your team's decision-making.

5. Get the Best Candidates to Say "Yes"

  • Implement strategies to get the best candidates to enthusiastically accept your offers.
