In this week’s episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest causes of recruitment chaos in growing firms: hiring to replace a person, instead of defining the role your business actually needs right now.
I’m walking you through the five “recruitment eras” most practices move through, why speed often creates more mess, and what it looks like to hire with calm, leadership-level clarity. You’ll hear how we’ve built a simple monthly role review system inside striveX that keeps capacity and responsibilities visible, so job descriptions don’t become a last-minute scramble. I also share a real example from our team where we hit pause after a senior role changed, redistributed work, and realised the next hire needed to drive growth, not just plug a gap.
If recruitment has started to feel emotional, expensive, or urgent, this episode will help you step back, get clear, and move forward without making a rushed decision you’ll regret.
