HEX: Simply Driven Press

You don't have a hiring problem. You have a hiring execution problem.

Ask most CEOs why critical roles sit unfilled, and you'll hear some version of the same answer:

"We just can't find good people."

Great talent is hard to find. Competition is real. But the market isn't the only problem.

Hiring is an operating discipline. Most companies don't run it like one.

In HEX: The Missing System, founder and business owner Kent Burns draws on more than 25 years spent at the intersection of business leadership and critical hiring decisions to expose a connection most organizations have never operationalized: hiring execution drives organizational performance.

Through four disciplines-DEFINE, ALIGN, HIRE, and HUDDLE-HEX replaces hiring improvisation with an operating system that both executes and learns.

This isn't a collection of tactics for finding more candidates or a playbook of interview best practices. It's a challenge to CEOs, founders, and business leaders to examine the part of hiring they can actually control: how their organization executes.

High-impact hires are capital allocation decisions in human form.

Success isn't filling the job. It's hiring someone who produces exceptional results and creates the value the organization expects from its investment.

You are not just competing for talent.

You are competing against your own execution.

HEX is the missing system.
