Quick Review of Last Week
Creation• How to Effectively Build a Business Process using our 5 Step System that
eliminates the need for you to be involved in that Task or Set of Tasks (so you can go on vacation while your business still runs).• Including Sample Workflows that we use for our Employees so that you know how to
build processes.
• How to Map the Employee Workflow so that they fit into what you are already doing (and you don’t have to change your business based on them).• How to determine whether you hire an outsourced worker or an in house
employee.• How to know when you should offer equity (it’s rare… but there are cases
where this is the right choice).

Review - When to Add Staff to a FlowAdd Staff If:• You know clearly where they fit in your process
• This is great when you know your process and you want someone to replicate it.• This will example #1
• You know the result of something you need but not how to create it • This is great when you know what you want but not how to get it. Ex: logo, software, buy
button, etc• This will example #2
• You know how to do it, get the result but you suck at it or you hate doing it• This is a combo of the first two. For this, I suggest seeing of the other person’s process
works better than yours.• Ex: laundry, writing blog articles, SEO research, bookkeeping
• You have money to pay them
Review - How to Add Staff to a Flow
• Clearly define their start and end in the flow• Clearly define their deliverables
• checklists work great here
• Add a checkpoint for you approval when needed• This can be introduced several times in a work flow if need be.
• For example, you may want to see copy in a Word doc before someone gives you the HTML version since Word is easier to edit.
Review - Types of Staff
• High-Level Player• Creates Process
• Implementer• Does the Process
• Contractors – amount of workload determines type to hire• Freelance/One-Off
• Monthly or less work• Part-time
• Less than 35 hours a week• Full-time

Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 3 – Invitation & Test 1
Invitation & Test 1 – Implementer ExampleI'm building an iPhone game and need the following graphics designed. You will be responsible for knowing proper dimensions and specifications for the iPhone.
These graphics will be very cartoony in nature. They are for a toddler game.
1) 2 sets of train tracks - on that will fit horizontally across the phone and one that will fit vertically.2) 2 trains that have a large transparent component so that the color can dynamically change. The trains will have different perspectives.3) iPhone icon featuring the train in blue on a green background4) background for iPhone game that is textured like grass but clear so that the color behind it shows through.5) Success screen featuring the a big train and an open talking bubble (text will dynamically go in the bubble)6) Crash screen featuring a big crash. Something like this (http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-13580804-bursting-and-explosion-of-star.php?st=f28bbf0) but within my color palate and without the middle banner. Even though I don't want a banner, I do want the word "Crash!" on the image.
All colors should be the purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, & red from http://www.colorschemer.com/schemes/viewscheme.php?id=6316
Once I've awarded the job, I will send the spec so you can get a full grasp of the game. I am building it with a friend and we are looking to launch the game in about a month.
In your reply please let me know an estimate of how many hours you think this will take. All submissions without an estimate will be rejected.
Thanks!

About
Invitation & Test 1 – High-Level Player ExampleHello,
We are kicking off a new software project and need it to blow our user's minds (in a good way)! That's where you come in. I have a vision for what I want but want you to make it amazing.
The software is XXX software. Users will XYZ. There will also be customer facing sales pages, about us, pricing, etc.
I love to see clickable, online prototypes that I can show my business partner that can evolve into the software.
You'll be working directly with me and my business partner will be giving a lot of input. He's the marketing guy. I'm the tech. We've been working together for years and have a great relationship. I've been coding/testing/building web software since 1997 so you'll be working with someone that knows and understands that process. Also, I will be doing a lot of the back-end coding.
Our company is doing very well and the goal with this software is to focus our energy on this product. We are working on timelines now so this isn’t a “this has to be done tomorrow” project. We want to build something high quality and amazing. That means we are looking for someone that works really well with us. That means I will be interviewing people. I will be looking at portfolios. I’m really looking for someone that is a rockstar and we can work with for a long time.
You should apply if:• You understand User Flow – how to get the users to do what we want them to do• You’re amazing at UI Design – making it pretty and functional• You create interactive prototypes – this is the best feedback tool• Your HTML/CSS/JS skills are rock solid - to create the site and make it fully responsive and cross-browser compatible• You’ll give creative direction and ideas – we’re not looking for a robot• You can work with a team – we love to get stuff done with a smile
You should not apply if:• You’re a diva• You’re flaky• This is your first or second time doing this kind of work• You don’t have a portfolio that can be reviewed• You aren’t looking for longer term work• You don’t have time for this project
Still here? Great! If you reply, please let me know your availability for a Skype interview as well as a link to your website and/or portfolio.
Thanks!Monica

Phase 5Hire
The First Interview
Choose the Top 2-3 Candidates to Interview• Base this on these criteria:• How you found them
(place slightly higher emphasis on referrals and people you’ve met)• Their resume/profile/portfolio• Their response to your invitation• Your gut instincts
Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)

• 3 articles for $15• 1 infographic for $75-100 (depending on how detailed)• 1 proofread for $20• 2 hours of web research for $20
Their results on the small task will tell you if you want to move forward and continue working with the Implementer.
For Implementers
Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)
Hiring Implementers for the First Interview Will Save You Time, Energy, and Money
The First Interview
Set up a 20-30 minute phone interview• Ask them these 4 questions:
• Tell me about yourself• You’re looking for a professional answer that makes you feel good about their history.
• Tell about a time where you’ve done work like I need before• You’re looking to see if they have a process for this work. If they aren’t specific, ask for specifics.
• What am I not asking you that I should be?• Since you don’t know what you don’t know, ask them! They should have an answer that makes you feel good – not
stupid.• What questions do you have for me?
• If they don’t ask you any, pass on them because they aren’t interested in YOUR project, they are just looking for work.
Move forward if they made you feel comfortable and like you want to work with them.
For High-Level Players
Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)
The Second Interview - a Test
Set Up a Test• This test should be specific to what you want hire them to do
• Examples:• For our finance position, we gave the person a download of Nanacast sales from a previous month and
asked them to organize it as best they could. This showed us how they think about organization. • For a developer, ask them to define a checkout process for you in a flowchart.• For a designer, ask them to review a website or design of your choice and give 3 specific ways they
would improve it
You’re looking to see if the person can think the way you want them to think.
Move forward if they pass the test (yes, this is subjective).
For High-Level Players
Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)
The Third Interview
Set up a second 20-30 minute phone interview • Ask them at least these 4 questions:
• What motivates you?• You’re learning to see if they fit your culture/style
• What is there about this opportunity that most excites you? • They should be excited about the job for specific reasons related to the opportunity (and not money)
• What are some concerns you have about this opportunity?• A good high-level player will always have a few concerns. They shouldn’t be deal breakers.
• How do you define done?• I love this question because I want to know if they are a perfectionist.
• How do you approach the work that needs to be done for my company?• Again, looking for their process
For High-Level Players

Interview Red Flags
STOP the Interview Process If Any of These Occur:• The candidate is late• The candidate is rude or disrespectful • The candidate is unprepared• The candidate’s responses are always vague• The candidate makes you feel dumb
• Even when you’re hiring for things you don’t fully understand, a candidate should never make you feel stupid

Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)
Interview Legal Matters
Don’t ask questions that require an applicant to reveal any information protected by law. This includes:• Age• Race• Color• National origin• Religion• Marital status• Sexual orientation
Building Your Hiring Funnel – Phase 4 – Interview(s)
Interview Tips
• Make sure you ask questions that require more than just a “yes” or “no” answer• LISTEN• Don’t be thinking of your next question. Listen to what they say and ask follow
up questions.
• If possible, have a man and a woman interview the candidate• People react differently to different people
• At the end of every interview, let the candidate know when they can expect to hear from you again• It’s easier to reject and be rejected by email

The 2 Step Legalities of Hiring a Contractor – Step 1 – Contracts
Contract
Confidentiality Agreement
• A confidentiality agreement, sometimes called a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract in which the contractor promises to treat specific information as a trade secret and promises not to disclose the secret to others without proper authorization. • This protects your company’s ideas and

them starting the work.• If a business has a W9 Independent contractor you
must provide the contractor with a 1099 by the end of January if they were paid $600 or more. • http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf

Employment Contract

• The Relationship • (typically wording sounds like: “On behalf of Thirty3
Productions, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (the “Company”) I am pleased to offer you the position of ________. Your employment by the Company shall be governed by the following terms and conditions.”
• What do you provide for the employees, and what do you get in return? • Job responsibilities • Wages and taxes• Benefits
• How the job will be performed and if it is an exclusive relationship • Full time or part time employment • Can they provide services to any other employers or
engage in other forms of employment (i.e. self employment)

of their identity and eligibility for employment • Disputes- discuss how disputes will be
handled (Arbitration)• Notices- shall be communicated in writing • Choices of Law and Severability- what state
are your contract be interpreted by• Ask your lawyer!
At-Will Employment Exceptions
All states recognize at-will employment- BUT some states place limitations on it. These limitations are in addition to the ones the federal law apply to all states.
• Public Policy Exception• An employee would be considered “wrongfully discharged if their firing went against a well
established public policy of the state in which they work. (are you asking them to break the law or did you fire them for filing a workers compensation claim)
• The Implied Contract Exception • When you have employees sign at-will employment contracts but include in the contract or employee
handbook the statement that they will only be terminated for “just cause” or procedures for termination of employment then you may not be an at will employer.
• The Covenant of Good Faith Exception (AL, AK, AZ, CA, DE, ID, MA, MT, NE, UT, WY)• It requires that employers only terminate employees for just cause, even if the Employee Handbook
or Employment contract says nothing about the requirement.

Confidentiality Agreement
This is the same as a contractor
The 4 Legal Steps for Hiring an Employee – Step 2 – Create the Offer Packet
• A confidentiality agreement, sometimes called a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) is a legally binding contract in which the contractor promises to treat specific information as a trade secret and promises not to disclose the secret to others without proper authorization.
• This protects your company’s ideas and secrets
Employee Handbook
• Although it is not required, it is an excellent idea to have a handbook describing your business’ employee policies.• It should also make clear that employment is
at will (unless you have an employment contract that states otherwise)
• The Employee Handbook should be signed at the same time as the offer letter

but it must be kept on file. • This form should be filled out each year if they
want to change their allowances. • http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf

employers to use this form to verify that every employee they hire is eligible to work in the United States. • This form does NOT have to be filed with the USCIS
but employers MUST keep it on file for 3 years and make it available for inspection by officials of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. • The files should be kept in a separate I-9 folder for
all employees - not in each employee’s personal file. • To verify employee information on the I-9 form you
will want to use E-Verify. http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify

Payroll Taxes
• Payroll taxes are taxes imposed on employers or employees.• They are usually calculated as a percentage of the salaries that employers pay their staff.
• Payroll taxes generally fall into two categories: • deductions from an employee's wages• taxes paid by the employer based on the employee's wages
• Employers are responsible for withholding and depositing payroll taxes from their employees wages.
• Employers must furnish each employee with a Form W-2 each year and file Forms 941, 940 and W-3 as well as form 945,and 1099 where applicable. • There are other forms as well for specific business types (restaurants, non-profits, etc)• Yeah, we know that’s a lot of numbers… this is why you pay accountants!
The 4 Legal Steps for Hiring an Employee – Step 3 – The Dreaded Taxes
Tax Forms
• W2/W3- The IRS require employers to report wage and salary information to employees on form W-2. It also reports the amount of federal, state and other taxes withheld from the employees paycheck. The W2 is sent to the employee. The W3 is sent to the IRS.
• 1099- an IRS tax return document used to report miscellaneous payments made to non-employee individuals during the calendar year.
• 941- a quarterly report of wages paid to employees and withholdings made by employers. It also includes information on the employers share of Medicare and Social Security taxes during the period reported.
• 940- Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return. Together with state unemployment tax systems, the FUTA tax provides funds for paying unemployment to workers who have lost their jobs.
• 945- Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax – Use this form to report withheld federal income tax from non payroll payments.
The 4 Legal Steps for Hiring an Employee – Step 3 – The Dreaded Taxes

Tax Nexus
• “Tax Nexus” is a legal term that refers to the requirement for companies doing business in a state to pay taxes in that state. • Normal Nexus is any one of the following: office location in state, employee
in state, inventory or fixed asset within state. • Some states consider independent contractors (form 1099) as an employee
that qualifies you to be in state. So just having a 1099 contractor does not get you around the employee issue. • If you have any one of the above, you are going to be required to file
income taxes in that state.
Note: this applies to sales tax too but that’s a whole other party – talk to your accountant
