description: Build a gym's role-outcome hiring funnel - scorecards, work-sample screening, A-player pay logic, hire-order sequencing - and turn the owner's work into handoff-ready SOPs. Use when a gym owner says "hire a coach", "find A-players", "first hire for my gym", "build an interview process", "document my processes", "write an SOP", or "get out of the day-to-day". Do NOT use when the user needs a generic, inclusive, legally-careful job posting for any company - use job-description-writer instead.

# Hiring A-Players and SOPs

A gym stops scaling when the owner is the bottleneck. Run a role-outcome hiring funnel that finds people who produce results without supervision, and a four-step method that turns the owner's knowledge into SOPs someone else can run.

## Workflow

Pick the entry point: if the owner is drowning in operations, start at Step 5 (SOPs). If growth is capped by the owner's own selling or coaching hours, start at Step 1 (hiring).

### Step 1: Sequence the hire before defining it

A scaling single-location gym hires in this order:

1. Sales setter or salesperson first - book and close so the owner stops being the only seller. Frees the most owner time and funds the next hire.
2. Coach next - deliver sessions as the member base grows, protecting retention.
3. Manager last - own the daily operation and the scoreboard so the owner can step out of the seat.

Name which role you are hiring now and why it is next.

### Step 2: Define the role by its outcome, not a task list
