In This Episode:
Zach breaks down how to escape the “panic hire” cycle by building a simple hiring funnel you can use before you hit capacity.
This includes evaluating candidates in a standardized way, using structured rubrics to protect your client work, and using your project manager (not you) as the filter in the process.
🚀 What You'll Learn:
- How to build a repeatable hiring funnel so you can confidently hire the right team members before you desperately need them.
- The “feed more birds with one scone” content approach to building assets that simultaneously support hiring, onboarding, and client acquisition while you scale.
- A real-life case study of a freelancer “in the trenches” delivering epic value to clients with productized services without doing the fulfillment to build a scaleable business vs. just a freelancer who owns a job.
- Why your marketing and sales process should highlight the real cost of not using your proven system.
- The overall mindset shift to go from ad-hoc freelancing to structured systems that protect your reputation, scale your business, and give you more clients without burning out.
💡 Ideal for Freelancers Looking to:
- If you’re a six-figure freelancer sick of being maxed out on time, wanting to scale your business, and need to hire a freelancer (but are terrified of bad hires or losing client trust), this episode gives you the practical steps to hiring better.
