What if the reason you can't find "the right hire" has nothing to do with the candidates and everything to do with the fact that you never defined what success actually looks like?
In this episode of the Business Builder's Playbook, host David Bush sits down with Kate Morgan, founder and CEO of Boston Human Capital Partners and author of the bestselling book Custom-Fit: A Straight-Talking Guide to Hiring Top Talent for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners. Kate has spent more than two decades helping startups and small businesses hire, develop, and retain the people who actually move the needle, and her approach skips the HR theory in favor of a founder-led, straight-talking hiring strategy.
Here's what you'll learn by watching or listening to this full episode:
• How to build a hiring plan off your business plan, with clear gates for when to bring on sales, marketing, or engineering
• Why projecting what success looks like 12 months out matters more than filling the role fast
• The real cost of a bad hire and why the psychological toll outweighs the dollar amount
• The blunt test that separates a genuine core value from a nice-to-have
• How to interview past rehearsed answers and get to the truth behind the résumé
• Why the "urgency trap" wrecks hiring decisions, even with a stacked candidate pipeline
• When to bring on a full-time employee versus a fractional exec, contractor, or outsourced partner
• Why most founders cap their own growth long before their market does
