HR for CEOs

If you're a founder who just crossed 100 people and still treats HR as the person who books the holiday party - stop.

You feel it every week:

• A key engineer quits and you find out in the exit interview, not before.
• You've interviewed four "HR Directors" and can't tell which one will actually move the business.
• Payroll, contracts, and culture all somehow land back on your desk.
• You're growing 30% a year while your best people burn out faster than you can replace them.

Then this book is the system.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The 100-Person Signal - the exact week to make your first HR hire.
• The Pre-Hire Audit - what's actually broken before you write the job spec.
• The HR Profile - the one HR leader your stage needs.
• The Scorecard - score candidates on outcomes, not charm.
• The 90-Day Probation Plan - prove the hire in a quarter.
• The Partnership Ladder - turn HR from order-taker into growth partner.
• The Involvement Dial - set how deep you go without drowning in it.
• The HR Stack - the tools to automate first as you scale.

57 ready-to-use templates inside - no email walls, no downloads. Every one is on the page with a worked example.

The U.S. Department of Labor puts the cost of a single bad hire at about 30% of first-year salary. The wrong HR leader compounds that across every hire they touch. This book is how you get it right the first time.

Stop guessing who to hire. Start running HR like the growth lever it is.
