Most founders don’t have a hiring strategy. They have a hiring reaction.
Someone quits? Panic post the job. Pipeline slows? Panic hire a “growth expert.” But the biggest hiring mistake isn't who you hire, it's how and when you start the process.
We’re finally releasing our no-BS recording from LinkedIn Live on this topic through the Strategy Ladders Podcast. Join Brian, Kas, Josh and Austin as they expose the difference between hiring with intention… and hiring out of desperation. From choosing agencies that ghost you after the proposal, to consultants who solve one problem and quietly create three more. We even look at the in-house hires who drown under onboarding. This episode breaks down why most founders hire late, hire wrong, and stall growth as a result.
And yes, we’re calling out the myth that proactive recruitment is just for fancy corporates. Spoiler alert: if you’re waiting until the seat’s cold to post the job, you’re already two months behind.
In This Episode:
✅ The real cost of bad hiring decisions (hint: it’s not just money)
✅ Why your “gut feel” is screwing up your hiring strategy
✅ Proactive recruitment frameworks for scaling smarter
✅ Consultant illusions that trap early-stage businesses
✅ Why treating agencies like employees (and vice versa) kills results
If you’ve been burned by agencies, ghosted by consultants, or hired a salesperson that couldn’t sell a pen, this episode is your roadmap out.
👉 Subscribe and watch now! Your future self (and your next hire) will thank you.
