Scaling a business sounds exciting… until you’re the bottleneck, hiring feels risky, and imposter syndrome hits you in the face every single day.
In this episode of Two Blokes One Business, we break down exactly what it’s like to grow a recruitment business, hire the right people, and build systems without burning out.
From hiring new team members and reducing key person risk, to battling imposter syndrome, building systems, and learning when to let go — this is a behind-the-scenes look at growing a recruitment business without burning out.
We break down:
