Are You Ready to Hire?
How to tell whether your next constraint is a person, a process, or a price increase.
By VBA Core
Hiring solves capacity, not chaos
If the work isn't documented, a new hire inherits the confusion and needs constant supervision. Write down the role's actual tasks before you post it.
The three checks
Before hiring, confirm all three are true:
- Demand is consistent, not a single busy month
- You can cover the full cost for several months, not just the wage
- The tasks you'd hand over are repeatable and describable
Consider the smaller step first
Contractors, part-time help, or raising prices to reduce low-value work are often the right move before a full-time hire.
