The $92,000/month Hiring Mistake Most Agencies Make


Listen Later

Your remote hiring process is bleeding money. That $92,000 mistake? It's happening right now at agencies across the country.
Most agency owners think remote hiring is just posting jobs and hoping for the best. They write vague job descriptions, skip structured interviews, and wonder why 73% of their hires wash out in six months. The real cost isn't just the salary - it's the 2-3 months of lost productivity, client delays, and having to restart the entire process.
Nico Hartwell learned this the hard way while scaling his AI consultancy. After burning through bad hires that cost him nearly six figures in lost revenue, he developed a systematic approach that transformed his remote team into a profit machine. His agency now generates $92K monthly with a 94% hire success rate.
