The System for Hiring Top Talent and Scaling Past 7 Figures
Manage episode 509278777 series 3386506
Hiring top talent is the single greatest lever for scaling beyond 7 figures. Yet too many agency owners find themselves stuck in bottlenecks, worn down by failed hires, or wasting energy micromanaging instead of building.
In this episode of Catalytic Leadership, I welcome back Kasim Aslam, founder of multiple 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses, creator of Pareto Talent, and author of Hire: The Essential Guide to Building Powerful Teams and Reclaiming Your Time. Kasim has hired hundreds of people and built companies that thrive because of one system: his 7-step blueprint for hiring top talent.
We unpack how to treat people as peak performers, not commodities… why paying more can yield exponential returns… and how to delegate projects instead of tasks so your team accelerates without you being the bottleneck. Kasim shares the exact filters, trial projects, and systems he’s used to place nearly 100 executive assistants and run 17 businesses without managing a single one himself.
If you’re scaling past 7 figures and want a proven system for hiring top talent that fuels freedom and growth, this episode will show you the way.
