In this episode, Molly reveals how to hire without regret by transforming the way leaders approach recruitment. She breaks down The Smart Hire® Solution, showing how to move from last-minute delegation to intentional team building. Through real-world examples and actionable steps, listeners will learn how to attract top talent who share their firm's core values, build trust through transparency, and lead the hiring process like a visionary, not a manager putting out fires.

Key Takeaways:

• Use a clear, consistent interview process that focuses on values, skills, and long-term fit.

• Start with a five-minute phone call to gauge communication, professionalism, and reliability.

• Send clear, confident offer letters that outline pay, bonuses, and decision deadlines.

• Watch for poor follow-through or accountability issues before moving forward.

• Show your firm's mission and leadership style to attract candidates who truly align.
