5 Reasons Why It’s So Hard to Hire People

People are an agency’s best resource. The right people on your
team will help your agency scale and become more profitable, but
the wrong people will cost you a lot. I have learned my lesson
over the years and would like to share how we moved past hiring
difficulties and now have a great team of people comprising
DUDE. 


In this week’s episode, I address a topic that I can talk hours
and hours about. I share the top five reasons why agencies are
finding it so hard to hire the right people, and of course, tips
on how to do it right. All of the things I discuss here are
things I’ve experienced myself and learned from. 


If you are dead serious about getting the right people to work
with you, this is an episode that you ought to listen to now!
