Episode Summary: Hiring can feel like gambling with your sanity—and your bottom line. In this episode, Sharrin sits down with recruitment and HR expert Jennifer Scott to unpack what really goes wrong in the hiring process and how to get it right. If you’ve ever hired someone who looked good on paper but just didn’t get it, this episode is packed with practical advice on building a team that actually supports your business instead of breaking it. From recruiting mistakes and red flags to retention strategies and defining company culture, this conversation covers it all—with some real talk and laughter along the way.

Together, they unpack:

• The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when hiring (hint: don’t clone yourself)
• How to define and hire for your actual culture and core values
• The difference between hiring to fill a seat and hiring to move your business forward
• Why “maybe” is a no when it comes to making a hire
• How to spot red flags in interviews before it’s too late
• What you should be putting in your job ads (and why most job descriptions fail)
• The power of stay interviews for retaining top talent

Whether you're scaling for the first time or rebuilding after a misfire, Jennifer breaks down the mindset and systems that help you find and keep the right people.
