How to Use AI to Streamline Your Hiring Process — Sean Griffith | Ep 93

How to Use AI to Streamline Your Hiring Process — Sean Griffith | Ep 93

Hey friends, it’s Wisdom here! In this episode, I sat down with Sean Griffith—someone who’s gone from corporate high-flyer to building his own AI-powered hiring platform, Truffle. We dug into the real story behind scaling SaaS businesses (from $1M up to $40M ARR!), why work-life balance isn’t a myth, and how to recognize those early signals that it’s time to hire for your team. Sean didn’t hold back on sharing the hard truths about leadership, hiring pitfalls, and the game-changing ways AI can help small business owners work smarter, not harder. My hope? That you walk away knowing it’s okay to prioritize what matters—your time, your team, and building meaningful work. And hey, if hiring has been a headache, you’ll want to hear Sean’s advice for making it a whole lot easier. Let’s keep leveling up together!
