HIRE
Stop Letting Indeed and LinkedIn Bleed You Dry
Most small businesses post a job and forget about it. Then the bill shows up and the only candidates in your funnel? The ones actively looking, usually for a reason. Or wildly unqualified.
The Problem:
- Paying for job posts nobody's managing
- Only seeing candidates who need a job, not the ones winning elsewhere
- Your competitor is doing outreach while you wait
The Fix:
- Pause auto-renewing posts you're not working
- Spend 30 min/week reaching out to employed candidates
- Learn what actually gets responses
- Or skip the learning curve and have us do it
Over 75% of our quality hires come from active outreach. The best people aren't on job boards. Go find them.
LEAD
Core Values Are Useless (If You Don't Live Them)
Values on your wall, job postings, website, and email signature mean nothing if your actions don't match.
Most leaders love talking about their values. Some waste thousands on a consultant to define them. Few actually live them. Fewer can even name them.
Gut Check
- Can you name them?
- Do you live them?
- Would others agree?
Try This: Ask someone who left. They'll be honest. Scared to ask? You already know.
GROW
Growth Breaks Things. Realign Before You Lose People.
When your company grows, expectations change. Some people rise to meet them. Others don't want to.
That's OK. But ignoring it creates resentment, confusion, and turnover.
The Fix:
- Redefine roles, expectations, and KPIs
- Put it in writing
- Get a clear yes or no
- If not, help them exit well
Keeping someone who's checked out isn't loyalty. It's avoidance. Let them go so your team can move forward.
