Startup hiring breaks faster than most founders expect.
At first, it’s simple.
Post a role. Interview. Hire.
Then growth hits. Pipelines dry up. Interviews feel inconsistent. Agencies get expensive. Founders become the recruiting team.
Hiring becomes the bottleneck.
Most startups don’t need a full-time VP of Talent yet.
But they do need a real hiring engine.
I created a practical guide:
The Fractional Head of Talent — Startup Hiring Playbook
Learn how to:
• Build a scalable hiring system
• Structure interviews and scorecards
• Create repeatable sourcing pipelines
• Avoid costly hiring mistakes
• Implement a 30-day hiring roadmap
Includes plug-and-play templates.

Helping recruiters look as good as the talent they place. 💼✨
This recruitment agency was great at what they do. Strong network. Solid results.But their website? It didn’t show that.
It felt outdated. Hard to navigate. And didn’t clearly speak to either employers or candidates.
So we changed that.
I redesigned the site to be clean, direct, and easy to move through — with clear service pages for companies, simple job browsing, and strong calls-to-action that actually guide people to take the next step.
Now the website does what it’s supposed to do: Build trust fast. Explain the value clearly. Turn visitors into real conversations.
Because in recruitment, first impressions matter.
And your website is usually the first one.
well visual polished and nice layout

Founders are wired for speed. But reacting to every stray thought is not leading. It is just vibrating.
Reactivity is a leak.
When you "fix" things because you feel anxious, you are tampering. This creates team whiplash. Your systems never settle. Your team stops building for the future because they expect you to blow everything up by Tuesday.
This feels like control. It is actually just playing Whac-A-Mole.
Not every thought needs a response. Some need data. Some need a month of observation. Some just need you to go for a walk.
Scaling requires a steady hand.
Extremely accurate 👌
Constant reactive changes often introduce more instability than progress in growing systems.
Strong insight.
