Jobs

Hiring today feels like fishing in a hurricane—applications everywhere, but no guarantees you’ll reel in what you need. If you’re running a business or leading a department, you’ve probably felt this: you post a job, get 250 resumes, and maybe 3 are relevant. It’s exhausting. And expensive. Worse yet, if you hire the wrong person, […]

Let’s be brutally honest: posting on job boards and praying for the right resume to land in your inbox doesn’t cut it anymore. If you’re tired of wasting weeks screening unqualified applicants, ghosting candidates, or simply guessing who’s the right hire, you’re not alone. In today’s tight labor market, where top talent is off the

Let me take you back a bit. Three years ago, I had a solid business. Revenue was up, clients were coming in, and I thought I could keep doing it all myself—including hiring. So, when we needed to bring on two new team members, I figured: “How hard can this be? Throw up a job

Here’s the Ugly Truth About Hiring (And Why a Good Recruiter Might Save Your Business) I’ve seen it too many times. A company owner calls me after burning through five interviews, two weeks of their time, and one hire who ghosted before lunch on day three. They’re frustrated, exhausted, and starting to wonder if hiring

Most companies are terrible at hiring. Not because they’re dumb. Not because they don’t care. Because they’re trying to do it all themselves — and they’re doing it half-assed. You post a job.

I’ll be honest—hiring used to keep me up at night. And not for the reasons you’d think. It wasn’t the résumés. Or the interviews. Or the back-and-forth scheduling. It was that gut-punch moment when someone I had just hired—someone I really believed in—either ghosted us completely or flamed out before their 90 days were up.

Let’s not dance around it—hiring people is a time-suck. It’s chaotic, inconsistent, and if we’re being totally honest… most companies are winging it. Maybe you’ve got an internal HR person posting jobs and doing phone screens, but if you’re not a recruitment agency, you’re probably not great at hiring. That’s not an insult—it’s reality. You’re

I’ll be honest with you: I used to think recruitment agencies were a waste of money. “Why pay someone to do something I can handle in-house?” That was me. Classic small business ego. Then I hit a wall. We were scaling fast. I needed good people—yesterday. I posted jobs. Paid for boosted listings. Sifted through
