Topgrading Masterclass #2: Deep Dive Into Interviews, Reference Check & Onboarding

​About the Event

​In our first session, we laid the groundwork for elite hiring by shifting from vague job descriptions to measurable Role Scorecards, optimized sourcing, and initial screening. But attracting candidates is only 25% of the battle. The real magic of the Topgrading methodology happens when you evaluate them.

​How do you look past a polished, rehearsed resume to uncover a candidate’s true performance history? How do you ensure your interview process is predictive, objective, and impossible to "fake"?

​In this second and final part of our Topgrading series, we move straight into the core execution machine. Based on the 11-Step Topgrading Flow, we will deep dive into Steps 4 through 11 to show you exactly how to conduct bulletproof interviews, run authentic reference checks, and seamlessly onboard your new A-Players.

​What We Will Cover (Steps 4–11):

• ​The Interview Engine (Steps 4, 5 & 6): How to conduct the deep-dive Career History Interview, utilize Tandem Interviewing to remove individual bias, and run targeted Competency Interviews.

• ​The Truth Incentive (Step 7 - TORC): How to leverage the Topgrading Original Reference Check (TORC) technique so low-performers self-select out, and high-performers transparently share their histories.

• ​Verification & Final Evaluation (Steps 8 & 9): Master the art of the Reference Call and apply the definitive A/B/C Evaluation grid to eliminate gut-feel hiring decisions entirely.

• ​Sealing the Deal & Integration (Steps 10 & 11): Making the right Hiring Decision and structuring an elite Onboarding process that ensures your new A-Player delivers maximum ROI from day one.

​Interactive Elements & Outcomes:

• ​Live Interview Roleplay: Watch a live breakdown of how to dig into a candidate's chronological career timeline to uncover hidden warning signs.

• ​The Reference Check Playbook: Walk away with the exact script and questions to use during reference verification calls to get candid, honest feedback from past managers.
