As your business scales, recruiting and onboarding often prove more challenging than you might anticipate. Most scale-ups wait too long to invest properly in these areas. A solid investment doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s about thoughtful planning and disciplined execution.

  • Don’t underestimate the effort and sophistication required to scale recruiting and onboarding.

You might think, “I’m only hiring a couple of reps at a time; I don’t need to invest in this yet.”

That mindset leads to short employee tenure and a costly cycle of wasted time and money.

Agreed... everything always is harder, takes longer, and ... when done well ... is more rewarding than we expect ... Tom Stearns. you capture this perfectly ... if we cut corners on essential steps like onboarding and recruiting, we set ourselves up for high turnover and wasted time. Thoughtful planning and disciplined execution here pay off in building a strong, lasting team.

I completely agree, but ultimately, it comes down to the employer's decision on whether they want to retain the employee(s). In many cases, employers who are highly satisfied with the results are more likely to keep those contractors on long-term.
