#123: Not All Hires Are Equal: Helper vs. Growth Hires (Pros & Cons of Each)

Most business owners talk about hiring like it's one simple decision: "I just need help." But here's the truth almost no one explains - not all hires are created equal. Some hires are there to relieve pressure and keep things moving. Others are there to actually grow the business. And if you don't know the difference, it's incredibly easy to hire the wrong type of person at the wrong stage… and wonder why things still feel stuck. In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between helper hires and growth hires, the pros and cons of each, and how to know which one your business actually needs right now so your next hire moves the company forward instead of just adding another moving piece. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓ 25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓ Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.
