Hiring is easy—said no smart business owner ever. In this episode of Perpetual Traffic, Ralph and Lauren sit down with Josh Hill, Tier 11’s VP of Employee Success (or whatever his title is this week), to break down the real way to find and keep A+ players. Forget the “gut feel” hiring disasters—you’ll get the step-by-step playbook for building a team that actually scales your business. Whether you're looking to offload the 80% that’s draining your soul or you just want to stop hiring people who “seemed great” but ended up ghosting you in three months, this episode is your new best friend. Oh, and there may or may not be some good-natured roasting of Josh’s Australian pronunciation of "HR."
