🤔 Why Is Hiring So Tough Right Now? If you’re finding it harder than ever to hire, you’re not alone—nearly 9 out of 10 hiring managers feel the same way. The good news? There are ways to stand out and attract the talent you need. Here are four tips to help: 1. Share Your Story Let candidates know what makes your company special—your culture, mission, values, and growth opportunities. Use your website, social media, and other channels to show why your company is an awesome place to work. 2. Pay (and Perk) Up Competitive salaries are a must, but don’t forget about benefits and perks. They can make all the difference when candidates are weighing their options. 3. Offer Flexibility Flexibility is a dealbreaker for many people, especially Gen Z. Remote or hybrid work options could be the reason someone chooses your company over another. 4. Think Bigger Look beyond your local area for remote talent and reach out to passive candidates—even those who aren’t actively job-hunting. With the right approach, you can turn those hiring headaches into wins. And if you need extra help, consider partnering with a recruiting team who knows how to find top talent. What’s working for you when it comes to hiring? Let’s talk!

My client had an open role for a mid-level position. They hired us to fill it. We sourced, screened, and presented qualified candidates. They interviewed them promptly. Some they passed on, others they moved forward. After a couple of rounds of interviews with the right team members, they narrowed it down to two finalists. Those two met with the CEO. He gave his thoughts. The team made a decision and an offer. The candidate accepted and started 3 weeks later. Wow. So complicated. ….. don't make this harder than it needs to be. Prioritize hiring. Reduce attrition. Improve culture & vibes. ✅

70% of the companies are not hiring the ‘right’ way. When you hire people, don’t just look for experience or skill, but also focus on this: Their ability to mix, be humble, contribute, and work as a team. These traits create a positive work environment, strengthen teamwork, and lead to overall success. It not only enhances team dynamics but also leads to sustained business growth and innovation. Do you agree with this? #Hiring

Too often, companies think every new opportunity or challenge means hiring a full-time employee, or only focusing on hiring in-house.  💪 The instinct is - ‘Let's do that ourselves’! In business, especially in design, we believe in allied teams because no company — big or small — can do it all alone. It's neither realistic nor sustainable.  🎯 Instead, we build teams across multiple companies, working together toward a shared goal. It’s time to challenge the status quo: hiring in-house isn’t the only way to succeed.

I love hearing Anthony Armendariz share his insights and doing it more widely, because while he's humble about it, the way he thinks about business, building design orgs, and defining Funsize's path is consistently ahead of the curve. In a world where companies often think hiring full-time is the only solution, we need to rethink that approach and embrace the power of collaboration. Hiring in-house isn’t the only path, and like Anthony said, companies need to explore new ways to build and expand on teams. Innovation doesn’t come from working in a bubble but from leveraging diverse expertise, full-time or not.
