Hiring Got Easier. Your Business Got Worse. Here Is Why.

An owner told me his hiring is fine now. Applications are up and his seats are full. Then he showed me his numbers. Easy hiring hides a leak, and every business is leaking. This one is for owners of trades, construction, and field service companies who fill seats fast and still work sleepless nights and long weekends.

You'll hear:
- Why a filled seat doesn't mean you have the right person.
- The costs you never write a check for: callbacks, doubled job timelines, managers back in tool belts, and morale draining off your crews.
- What happens when you hire someone to handle hiring and put a person between you and the leak.
- Why an easy market trains you to hire reactively, and why that breaks the day the market tightens again.
- Why fill rate is a vanity number and tenure tells the truth.
- The Monday move: pull tenure for everyone hired in the last 18 months, including the people who left, then compare it against the 18 months before that.
