The 5-Star Employee Hiring System isn’t a toolkit.
It’s a full-service hiring solution.
While most systems hand you a PDF or a glorified applicant tracking system (ATS) and leave you on your own, The 5-Star Employee Hiring System takes the heavy lifting off your plate —automating, filtering, and guiding you through the steps of the hiring process.
This isn’t a new idea, either. Since 2013, business owners have used this proven methodology to consistently hire top-tier talent — aka 5-Star Employees — without the usual stress and guesswork.
When your hair is on fire and you need to hire fast, The 5-Star Employee Hiring System has your back. You handle just 10% of the work, while 90% is done for you automatically. The result? 100% fully vetted, top-performing 5-Star Employees ready to elevate your business.

The ALL IN Assessment instantly narrows down your applicant pool
to the top 20% of candidates.

Below are some of the results we’ve delivered within these industries:
A 5-Star Employee is someone who produces a 3.5X return on payroll — they’re reliable, driven, and aligned with your team and core values. We believe that everyone is a 5-Star Fit for something. But the same person who thrives in one role may underperform in another if it doesn’t match their strengths. That’s why our system doesn’t just look for “good” candidates — it uses The ALL IN Assessment to objectively pinpoint who is most likely to excel in your specific role.
The ALL IN Assessment scores every candidate against a custom benchmark built around abilities, motivations, and personality traits required for success in that exact position. You only move forward with candidates who score 70% or higher, so you’re not guessing — you’re hiring with precision. Our assessment also generates detailed reports on each candidate's job fit, work fit, and team fit. If your current hiring process hasn’t been producing top performers, this is likely the missing piece that you need.
The ALL IN Assessment gives you three reports:
Job-Fit
Work-Fit
Team-Fit
Below is a brief sample of the criteria the assessment is able to evaluate candidates on.
Do you need someone to be...
great with numbers or average with numbers?
better at working with data or working with things?
better at working in office than remote?
fixed salaried or bonus and commission?
task or people oriented?
Unlike recruiters who often just hand over resumes, we provide a done-for-you model. From custom job postings to candidate skills testing, interview packets, and an onboarding blueprint — we do the heavy lifting to make things as stress-free as possible. You stay focused on your business while we deliver fully vetted, high-performing candidates.
A lot. You’ll only be involved in 10% of the process. Once we’ve gotten all the information we need from you about what you’re looking for and why, we handle getting the job posted, writing custom interview questions for your role, and screening the candidates. You get to follow along and make the final decision, but our goal for you is to spend less time working IN your business and more time working ON your business.
You’ll never be left on your own. Our team is hands-on from day one — coordinating candidate interviews, managing next steps, and working your candidates through the entire process. We don’t just give you a system; we’re your dedicated HR partner delivering BIG RESULTS. DONE.
Our pricing is based on the size of your current team, using an annual subscription model. For businesses with up to 15 employees, the investment includes a one-time implementation fee + $900 a month (which is still less than the cost of a single mishire).
Remember — one mishire can cost you $23,000 in lost time, productivity, and turnover. You can keep bleeding money on hiring mistakes or… You can finally see a measurable return by building a high-performing team using The 5-Star Employee Hiring System.
Getting started takes just a few hours of your time. In the first five days, we work closely with you to supercharge your hiring process through the creation of tailored, personalized recruitment assets designed specifically for your role. Once your job post is live, we move fast to attract top-tier talent. From there, The ALL IN Assessment filters out all but the top 20% of candidates. We handle the screening interviews, so you only spend time with those who have the highest potential to be a true 5-Star Fit for your team.
Once we kick things off, your job can be live within 8 business days. We move fast without cutting corners. Your listing is a carefully written message designed to "leverage Indeed's algorithm" to attract the right candidates and repel the wrong ones.
87% of our clients make their first 5-Star Hire within 25 days of job posting.
“I’m just not good at hiring…”

So, let’s make the change now!
The 5-Star Employee Hiring System delivers BIG RESULTS. DONE.
