Three questions to ask before you hire your first backend engineer. 1. What will they own in month one? 2. Who reviews their code? 3. What does good look like in 90 days? Most hiring delays start with question 3.

A finance manager hire took one of our clients 11 weeks last year. This year it took 3. The difference was a shortlist of four, not forty.

Logistics teams are hiring again. If you run a depot and need a shift manager before peak season, the best candidates are taken by October. Start in August.

What I look for in a CV for an operations role: numbers. Not duties, outcomes. 'Cut picking errors by 30%' beats 'Responsible for picking'.

Founders often ask when to hire their first recruiter in-house. Our honest answer: when you are hiring more than one person a month, every month.

Good move to hire before the audit season, not during it. Happy to share what we see on salaries if useful.
