Outsmarting Recessions with Smarter Hiring Decisions

If you’re a founder led small business, a law firm, or a service provider, this video is for you. Most owners think recession proofing means cutting costs when things get tough. I take the opposite approach: prepare while times are good so you can grow when others are shrinking. In this episode, I break down how strategic remote hiring, especially from top talent in Latin America, can save you up to 70% on salaries without sacrificing quality, and set you up to keep your team intact no matter what the economy does. You’ll learn: Why traditional hiring models fail small service businesses in a downturn The data-backed reason to start preparing before the economy dips How outsourcing and nearshoring can keep your margins strong The key roles to hire remotely to free up your time as a founder Why Latin America is a hidden talent market for U.S. service providers If you're hiring remotely or building a lean team, this will help you make better hiring decisions today so you can thrive tomorrow.
