Alternatives to Hiring Full-Time Employees with Kronda Adair

KRONDA ADAIR,
CEO, KARVEL DIGITAL

Don’t be cheap. If you just go and hire some random person off Upwork or Fiverr, you get what you pay for by and large. You're going to have a much better time if you're able to pay a good wage, or pay up for some of these services that are going to help you get someone who's more likely to be qualified and able to actually do the things that you need them to do.

Episode Summary:

Today, we are going to talk about hiring and I have to tell you that I am as surprised as the next person that this is the topic of today's episode because I am far from being an expert on this topic. That said, I do have some valuable insights to share with you that I’ve developed over the past nine month going from being a solopreneur to leading a team.

In this episode, I do some mythbusting of common advice you’ll hear from the ‘business gurus” and you’ll hear my approach to building a team of skilled professionals that are committed to seeing your business succeed.

If hiring a team feels like a river you can’t seem to cross, I’ve got some alternative routes and stepping stones for you that might just be the thing to get you to the other side.
