THE DIFFERENCE

This is not an online course.
It’s a true partnership.

You and your selected staff are never left on your own. Every question you send is answered in under 24 hours. We’re in the trenches with you — coaching, correcting and collaborating until you have a repeatable hiring machine.

BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER

Is this the right thing for your company?

We would rather you find out here than three months in. Read both columns honestly.

Yes — if this sounds like you

  • You keep hiring, and a bad hire costs you real money every time.
  • You have one loyal person on your team who could own hiring — they don’t have to be in HR today.
  • You want the skill to stay inside your company instead of paying an agency fee on every position.
  • You can protect study time for that person — the lessons are short and self-paced, but this is real work, not a webinar.
  • You hold (or are ready to take) an annual HireBox platform license.

No — and here’s where to go instead

  • You want someone else to do the hiring for you. That’s our Done For You service, not this.
  • You need one candidate evaluated right now, not a system built. Start with a Job Fit Analysis.
  • You want a certificate on the wall and nothing else to change.
  • You hire once every two or three years — you won’t get your money back on this one.
HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to your own hiring expert.

1

We pick the right person — together

One loyal, passionate member of your team becomes the future talent-acquisition expert of your company. Most owners pick the wrong person here, so we do it with you — and we can run the same assessments on your shortlist that they will later run on applicants.

2

They work through the 16 chapters — and prove it

Every chapter ends with a graded quiz. 80% is the pass mark, and the next chapter stays locked until they reach it — nobody skims through. Alongside it: a full year of unlimited coaching by Zoom, phone and chat, and their 8 practical assignments corrected by our team.

3

We run a real hire, start to finish

Pick any position you actually need filled. We partner with you on the live campaign until the job is done — the hands-on internship that turns a trained person into a working recruiter.

INSIDE A CHAPTER

What a chapter actually looks like.

Not slides. Not a PDF you never open. Each of the 16 chapters runs the same four beats.

🎥

1. Patrick teaches it

36 video lessons across the program — Patrick on camera, explaining the principle and why it exists.

📖

2. They read the detail

69 written lessons: the procedures, the scripts, the forms, the legal points — all of it in writing, to come back to.

✍️

3. They do the work

8 practical assignments spread through the program — on your company, with your open positions. Corrected by our team.

🔒

4. They prove it — or repeat it

A graded quiz closes the chapter. Under 80%, the next chapter stays locked. That is why the certificate means something.

At the end: a final review across the whole program, a one-to-one call with Patrick Valtin, and the Hire‑Master™ Certificate of Completion — issued automatically, and only, once every chapter quiz is passed.

THE FULL CURRICULUM

The 16 chapters, in order.

The complete hiring system Patrick has been refining since 1988, across 60,000+ evaluated candidates. This is the actual table of contents — nothing hidden until you pay.

01 Welcome How to work through the program, how it is graded — and why hiring is the bottleneck of your expansion. 5 lessons
02 Recruitment Marketing Hiring is marketing. Treat job seekers like potential customers, hire like Steve Jobs, and build a job description that actually attracts. Includes the job description checklist and career landing page. 15 lessons · practical #1
03 ATS & Job Boards Where to post and how to get more for every ad dollar. Managing rejections properly, employee referral programs, and the growing power of social networks. 13 lessons · practicals #2–#5
04 Hiring For Happiness Patrick’s core principle, with the whitepaper behind it: the integrity challenge, the 30% of company failures traced back to people, and the criteria that matter most. 7 lessons
05 The Pre-Selector Being happy vs. making others happy. The Happiness Contribution Index and its drives — and how to filter a stack of applicants down to the few worth your time. 7 lessons
06 Screening Applicants The 10 steps of personnel selection, the Four Aces, the personality trap, how to evaluate honesty, how to read a résumé and an application — and the phone screen. The longest chapter in the program. 18 lessons
07 The 1st Interview Reactional Job Interviewing™ — Patrick’s own technique for seeing who is really in front of you, with the question set and the written interview procedure. 5 lessons
08 Reference Checks What to ask, who to call, and what a non-answer really means — done before the second interview, not after the offer. 4 lessons
09 The Recru-Tec™ Reading the soft-skills assessment: what each trait means, what a forced score looks like, and how to use it without over-reading it. 3 lessons
10 The 2nd Interview The decision interview — confirm or eliminate, with the written second-interview procedure to follow. 4 lessons
11 Background Checks How to avoid negligent hiring. Why the background check is your best insurance policy, and how to do it systematically instead of when you have a bad feeling. 6 lessons · practical #6
12 Onboarding Why new employees leave, and the three factors that keep them: the group super-glue factor, the monitoring factor, the buddy-sponsor factor. With the onboarding checklist. 10 lessons · practical #7
13 Legal Compliance Make the E.E.O.C. your friend. Formalize or die — record keeping, the laws on testing, at-will employment, and your written recruitment policy and guideline. 16 lessons · practical #8
14 Nailing Down Your Hiring Procedure Everything above turned into your written company procedure — the part that makes it survive the person who learned it. 2 lessons
15 Completion & Certificate Final review across the whole program, a one-to-one call with Patrick Valtin, and the Hire-Master™ Certificate. 3 lessons
16 Templates & Forms The 19 documents below — downloadable, editable, and yours to keep even after the year ends. Word + PDF

WHO TEACHES IT

Patrick Valtin.

Those 16 chapters are not a compilation of hiring advice. They are one man’s method, tested in the field since 1988 and rewritten every time reality disagreed with it.

He records the 36 video lessons himself. He takes the one-to-one call with your recruiter at the end. And the assessments taught in chapters 5 and 9 are his own — he built the first Recru-Tec™ in 1995.

  • Since 1988 in talent acquisition
  • 150,000+ executives trained
  • 5,000+ companies served
  • 40+ countries
  • 60,000+ candidates evaluated
  • 2 best-sellers — No-Fail Hiring 2.0, Taking Off the Mask
WHAT THEY WALK AWAY WITH

19 ready-to-use documents.

Every form, script and policy the system needs — in Word and PDF, so your team edits them with your company name on them. You are not asked to build any of this from scratch.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions owners actually ask.

How long does it take?

There is no cohort and no deadline. Your person works through the 119 lessons at their own pace, in whatever order the chapters unlock. What is fixed is the support around it: 12 months of unlimited coaching from the day they enroll. That year exists on purpose — so the learning survives its first contact with a real hiring campaign, not just the quiz.

Who should we pick to go through it?

Not necessarily your HR person. In most companies the right choice is the loyal team member who already understands your culture and would love to own something bigger — the person you would trust to represent you to a stranger.

This is step 1 of the program, and we do it with you: we can run the same assessments on your shortlist that they will later be running on applicants.

Is the certificate automatic?

No. Each of the 16 chapters ends with a graded quiz, and 80% is the pass mark. Under that, the next chapter stays locked and they take it again. The Hire-Master™ Certificate of Completion is issued the moment every chapter quiz is passed — and not before. That is the whole reason it is worth something.

What stays with us if that person eventually leaves?

The system does. Chapter 14 exists precisely for this: your recruiter turns everything they learned into your written company hiring procedure. Add the 19 editable documents — your policy, your application forms, your interview procedures, your onboarding checklist — and what you own is a hiring process, not one person’s memory.

Does the price include the testing platform?

Yes — that is exactly what changed. Your first year of annual platform license is included in the price of the program. $2,950 covers one person; $4,500 covers two people with Consultant. That one person (or those two) both use the platform and take the course.

Founding Members pay half — $1,475. Clients already on the Consultant plan pay half too — $2,250 for two people. Both plans are a one-year commitment, whether you pay monthly or annually: your platform license is already committed for the year, so you are not paying for it twice: the half price is the program alone, and your license carries on as usual. The half price applies to Founding Member and Consultant only.

After the first year, the platform license renews at the standard annual rate. Every paid plan — monthly or annual — also comes with two more courses at no charge: Recru-Tec and Pre-Selector.

Your recruiter is trained on the platform throughout the program, so the license is not an add-on — it is the tool the training runs on.

Can we do it on a monthly plan?

Yes — you can be on a monthly plan and buy the Hire-Master™ program at $2,950. From that moment you are an annual-license client: the program carries one full year of platform license with it, and that first year is included in the price. After that year, the annual license renews at the standard rate.

We’re not in the United States. Does it still apply?

The method does — recruitment marketing, screening, interviewing, assessments, onboarding and retention travel well, and this program is used in 40+ countries.

The law does not. This program was created in the United States and reflects U.S. hiring practice and employment law, and rules differ from one country to another — often from one U.S. state to another. Wherever a chapter cites a specific legal rule, treat it as a U.S. example and confirm the current local rule with a qualified local attorney or HR authority. We say this inside the course too, on the first page.

THE OFFER
$2,950 — platform included

Founding Members pay $1,475, and clients already on the Consultant plan pay $2,250 for two people — half price, because their platform license is already committed for one year, whether they pay monthly or annually.
