Manage episode 513566146 series 3600646
Struggling to build your team fast enough to meet revenue goals? You’re not alone — and you might be hiring wrong.
This week on Revenue Remix, Summer sits down with Brian Samson — serial founder and nearshoring expert — to unpack how growth-stage companies sabotage their own hiring, why your first 10 employees shape more than culture, and what founders get completely wrong about offshore vs nearshore teams.
You’ll learn:
* Why waiting to hire a recruiter shrinks your talent pool
* How nearshoring can unlock faster go-to-market
* What really causes remote hiring failures (hint: it’s not bad vendors)
* Why Latin American teams are often your secret weapon
Brian also shares what he wishes more leaders understood about team value — and how to spot resilient talent before you make the hire.
