"We have all A-players at this company."

If you've ever said that, here's the reality: most jobs inside your company aren't A-roles, and they were never meant to be.

Only about 10 to 15% of roles in any organization actually drive the business results that matter...

The rest still matter, but they don't carry the same weight. And trying to fill every single seat with an A-player is a great way to overpay, over-recruit, and burn out your hiring team chasing something you don't actually need.

The real skill isn't finding A-players everywhere. It's knowing which seats actually require one.

In this week's blog, we break down how to identify your critical A-roles and what actually predicts an A-player once you know where to look...

In 2026, Bill founded Hoops with a simple idea....

Combine humans and technology to create a better hiring experience.

The name says it all: we jump through the Hoops so you don't have to.

Mike Dixon shared the story behind Hoops and the value we bring to clients on The Automated Advantage Podcast with Greg Clarke, and it really does come back to two things:

Getting small and mid-sized businesses access to great talent at a price point that surprises them, and actually keeping that talent once they're in the door. We've cut turnover in half for several of our clients.

75% of candidates research a company's reputation before they even look at the salary or job title.

86% read reviews and ratings before considering an application.

Before a candidate ever applies to your job, they've already Googled you, read your Glassdoor and Indeed employer reviews, and asked someone they know if your company is worth working for.

And whatever they found (good or bad) already shaped their decision.

Your employer brand already exists. The only question is whether you're in control of it or not.

In this week's blog, we dig into what candidates are actually finding when they look you up, why your careers page alone isn't enough, and what you can do about it.

Positivity and confidence are contagious... And so is negativity.

As a leader, you are constantly injecting one or the other into your organization, whether you realize it or not.

Mike Dixon calls it the "negativity flu," and once it spreads, it's a lot harder to fix than it is to prevent.

Your investors, your clients, your employees, your team... they're all reading you.

And if you're not bringing the energy and optimism, nobody else is going to fill that gap for you.

"Don't run to get shot."

It's an old military... And honestly? It applies directly to hiring.

Mike Dixon hears all the time from employers: "I know I have a problem, but I just need a body in the seat as fast as possible."

And while that urgency is completely understandable, rushing a hire — especially for a critical, leadership, or hard-to-fill role — almost always costs more in the long run than taking the time to get it right the first time.

Think about it. If you fill a critical role in a panic and it doesn't work out three to six months in, you're right back where you started. Except now you've spent more time, more money, and you've disrupted the team in the process.

The smarter play is to take a step back, build a real strategy, and create a repeatable process that works.... so you're not starting from scratch every single time a key seat opens up.

Five years ago, the average job posting attracted around 100 applications.

Today that number is 242... and it's only climbing.

It's not because the job market suddenly became more competitive overnight. It's that candidates figured out AI before most employers did.

74% of U.S. job seekers are now using AI in their application process, and nearly half are submitting more applications than they were just a year ago, specifically to get past automated filters.

If your hiring process hasn't changed since before any of this, it's worth asking whether it's actually keeping up.

In this week's blog, we talk about what's happening on the candidate side, where most hiring processes are falling short, and what the companies getting this right are doing differently when it comes to AI candidate screening.

"Just because you got the hire, that's just the beginning of the game."

The first 90 days are everything. They're when new hires decide whether they made the right call.

And when companies find out whether they're set up to retain anyone at all...

High turnover in that window isn't bad luck. It's a warning signal that something needs to change.

But now, with AI in the hands of candidates, the playing field has changed.

Watch this clip from the AI Growth Blueprint podcast hosted by Yacine Hacene to hear Mike Dixon break it down, and what Hoops does differently to make sure that first experience actually sticks:

We've officially entered what Mike Dixon calls "the AI arms race."

Only a few short years ago, AI was a bonus for employers... allowing us to screen countless resumes in a fraction of the time.

But now, with AI in the hands of candidates, the playing field has changed.

Candidates can leverage AI to create picture-perfect resumes and apply at rates like never before.

If you're an employer not utilizing AI effectively right now, don't wait any longer. There are great, low-cost tools that will save you more time and money as you navigate this new landscape.
