Ep. 20: The Shifting Talent Market

On this episode of saaslife.fm, Sam Schrup and Chris McAleenan talk about hiring additional resources via agencies and freelancers to contribute to plenty of work. It may cost more money and time, but it’s worth it if they are capable. If not, just move on to the next one to scale and survive.

Highlights from this Episode:

Upwork: Both Chris and Sam have hired additional resources to get work done.
Vetting Process: Same job post but totally different pool of applicants to skim.
Thumbs Up/Down: Must speak fluent English and thoughtfully answer questions.
Interview: Top contenders invited, but number quickly falls, hire within 3 days.
Tech Layoffs: Leads to more and better applicants in the marketplace.
Supply Chain: Making sales may be simple, but what about parts to fulfill orders?
Help/Support: Why manuals, webinars, and more are competitive advantage.
Strategic Decision: Why Sam attempts to get TextRetailer into Shopify app store.
