“First, confront the brutal facts.”

Assess and prioritize

Don’t find vendors, find partners!

• Valentines Day is over, don’t fall in love with tools.

• Once your recruiting process is set, find tools and vendors that encourage efficiency and productivity within the

process.

• When you have identified those opportunities, define the outcome and ROI.

• Once desired outcome and ROI are established have a framework to evaluate vendors just as you have a

framework to hire candidates. Framework should include:

– who evaluated

– stability of the vendor

– what problem the vendor solves

– supporters and detractors among those who evaluate

– post purchase impressions

– information that should be communicated to the vendor regarding product evaluation.

• Evaluate all choices, not just those in front of you.

• Establish a criteria using SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound)

• Decide and Execute (if the scope warrants consider a pilot program to verify your decision)
