Posting a job and crossing your fingers? That’s not a hiring strategy - it’s a hope. If you're tired of getting ghosted by applicants or attracting people who just aren’t a fit, this episode is for you.

In this episode we’re diving into how to proactively find high-quality estheticians - even if they’re not actively job hunting. Because the best hires usually aren’t scrolling job boards - they’re already working, thriving, and waiting for the right opportunity to come their way.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why your dream hire probably isn’t on Indeed ✔️ How to build relationships with local esthetics schools ✔️ What to say to stand out ✔️ How to use social media to attract talent (not just clients) ✔️ Why referrals are your secret weapon - and how to get more of them

If you’re thinking: ❌ “I keep posting jobs, but no one great applies…” ❌ “I don’t have time to ‘network’ or build a hiring pool…” ❌ “I need help, like, yesterday—but I don’t know where to look…” …this episode will give you a clear plan to take control of your hiring process before you’re desperate.

Hiring shouldn't feel this hard - but if you're like most spa owners, writing a job post that actually attracts the right esthetician feels nearly impossible. You post the job… and then crickets. Or worse, you get flooded with the wrong applicants who clearly didn’t read a word of the description.

In this episode of Bougie and Boring, we’re cutting through the noise and getting real about why most job posts fall flat - and what you can do instead.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why generic or overly strict job descriptions are repelling the people you want ✔️ The must-have sections that make your spa stand out to quality candidates ✔️ How to filter out poor fits before they waste your time ✔️ Where to post your job so the right estheticians actually see it

If you’re stuck thinking: ❌ “Why is no one applying?” ❌ “I don’t want to deal with hiring again—it never works out.” ❌ “I’m ready to grow but don’t have the right people.” …this episode is for you.
