Stop Wasting 15-20 Hours a Week on Recruiting
The real question is can you afford to keep being your own recruiter?

"I hate recruiting," an agency owner told me. "It's eating up 15-20 hours of my week, and I could be spending that time actually growing my business."
This hit home because I've been there. When I was running my marketing agency in college, I spent countless hours:
Writing job descriptions
Screening resumes
Scheduling interviews
Conducting reference checks
Negotiating offers
And the worst part? I was terrible at it.
Let's do some quick math:
15 hours per week on recruiting = 60 hours per month. Average agency owner bills $150-200/hour. That's $9,000-12,000 of your time every month.
And that's just the obvious cost. You're also:
Losing potential revenue from not focusing on sales
Missing opportunities to improve operations
Sacrificing strategic planning time
Burning yourself out
The Expensive "Savings"
Many agency owners tell me they handle recruiting themselves to "save money."
But when you're spending $10,000 worth of your time to avoid a $4,000 recruiting fee, are you really saving anything?
Especially when you consider that bad hires from rushed recruiting often cost 2-3x their annual salary in lost productivity, client churn, and team morale.
