10 Steps To Hiring Great Employees / Ep. 461

Hiring great employees for your pet business takes 10 steps — not a prayer and a gut feeling. Pet sitters, dog walkers, and pet care business owners who hire based on who shows up are losing money every season to turnover, ghosting, and the wrong people in the wrong seats. This episode gives you Bella's complete Jump Hiring Method: how to define who you need, write a post that attracts them, and build a process that makes the wrong candidates self-select out before they waste your time.
