Hiring is broken—but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve seen firsthand how the wrong hire can drain time, energy, and money. But when you get it right, it’s magic. In this episode of Side Note, I’m sharing my personal playbook for strategic hiring—how to find the right people, avoid common hiring traps, and build a team that actually supports your business growth. Whether you have a few contractors or a full-scale team, all it requires is a little intention and a few key questions to unlock the right people in the right places.
I break down how to identify hiring gaps before you’re scrambling, why 80% of your time should be spent in your "genius zone," and the three essential interview questions that reveal more than a resume ever could. Plus, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own hiring process—how I use test projects to assess strategic thinking and cultural fit, and how I use intuition as one of my many hiring tools. If you’ve been putting off hiring (or made hiring mistakes before), this episode is for you.
In this episode, I discuss:
- How do you know when it’s time to hire? (And why you should do it before you feel ready)
- What are the three hiring questions that reveal more than a resume ever could?
- Why most hiring processes fail (and how to avoid the biggest mistakes)
- How to hire strategically so you can focus on revenue-generating activities
- The role of intuition in hiring: red flags, gut feelings, and making confident decisions
