Growing a business is exciting. But if I’m honest—it’s also overwhelming.

I’ve had those weeks where scaling feels like a sprint I can’t quite catch up to: client work, hiring needs, endless emails… all while trying to be present for my family and carve out just a little bit of time for myself.

What I’ve learned is this: the hardest part of growth isn’t vision—it’s execution. Especially when it comes to hiring. 

  • The average role takes 44 days to fill.
  • Costs easily climb past $7,500 (or way more).
  • And for startups or small teams, 65% don’t even have HR support.

That’s why I love what we’re building at The Recruiting Squad. It’s recruiting designed for the way growing businesses actually operate:

  • Pay-as-you-go (no contracts or retainers) with a fee cap established up front so there are no surprises
  • Real recruiters who understand your industry
  • Easy to navigate platform to handle all the hiring steps
  • Faster, more affordable hires—without burning yourself out spending hours going through piles of unqualified candidates
  • A dedicated recruiting manager to understand your roles, company culture, and keep you updated along the hiring journey

So if you’re balancing hiring growth at work and the chaos of everyday life—I see you. It doesn’t have to feel impossible. Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do is take a little weight off your plate—and let the right partners carry it with you.
