“Who should i hire?”

Most solopreneurs wait to hire until they’re buried in work and burning out.

Then they scramble to delegate tasks without defining a professional role.

THEN they usually go through a long cycle of hire-and-fire until they finally figure out the right org design for their business.

Wouldn’t it be nicer to start from Hire #1 with a proven, reliable strategy that gets you high quality people in your business, without all that trial-and-error?

in 1 session, we’ll get you there.

Let’s be honest:

Letting go is hard.

especially when your business feels like your baby.

OF COURSE you’re hesitant to hand off the steering wheel — you’ve built this with your own two hands!

Support doesn’t have to start huge (you may not even need a full-timer) — but if you know deep down you’ve been playing too small with hiring, you’re not alone.

The Design Your First Hire Intensive gives you the strategy and tools you need to hire the right person for your business — and for you.

This is your chance to lead bravely — with clarity, not chaos.

Nice to meet you!

I’m Jess.

AND I'M OBSESSED WITH CREATING INCREDIBLE TEAMs.

I’ve spent 17 years designing teams and functions, mostly inside founder-led businesses — the kind where delegation gets real personal and quality is everything.

I don’t do traditional HR consulting.

I do the human side of business design for founders who know people are essential and who want their businesses to stand the test of time and change.

this is for founders who want:

☑️ One hire that changes the game — not just another inbox helper

☑️ Clarity on who to hire and why — not just “maybe a VA?” vibes

☑️ To get out of the weeds and trust quality, not just hand off random scraps

☑️ To stop spinning and make one clean, strategic move

this is NOT for you if:

❌ You want to delegate fast and figure it out later; you’re cool with “fire fast” bro advice

❌ You’re not yet bringing in consistent revenue

❌ You truly believe you are the only one who can do anything right in your biz

💡 You’re looking for deeper, ongoing support across hiring, integration, and upgrading your own role for scale (that’s exactly what my Scale With Talent accelerator is for!)

here’s what you get

in your strategy intensive

🧠 A 2-hour 1:1 strategy session

We map your business needs, your energy, and your priorities to design exactly who your next hire should be — and what they’ll do.

📄 Three custom assets delivered within 72 hours:

  • A job description to post or use internally

  • A capability map outlining skills, behaviors, goals, and experience for the role

  • An interview guide to help you evaluate their answers and find the right fit

🎯 One strategic decision — made.

So you can stop spinning your wheels

and start moving forward with confidence.

examples of roles we can design together:

EA, VA, PM, OBM, marketing assistant, content support, ops lead, course support, client delivery…

If you’ve thought “I just need someone to help with ___,” we can map the exact role that gets you there.

Contractor or employee? Fractional or full-time?

Not sure who or how to hire?
This session covers that too.

We’ll make the decision that matches your business model, your budget, and your bandwidth.

frequently asked questions

  • This program is perfect for ALL founders who are ready to step out of the “doing it all” role, hone their focus, get their lives and families back, and maaaaybe let go of a little control 😉 in order to get access to more time, more money, more freedom... a bigger long-term payoff.

    You can be in any industry -- people are people.

    It’s perfect for:

    ✅ Coaches & consultants

    ✅ Brands where you’re the “face”

    ✅ Online educators and course creators

    ✅ Tech and AI businesses

    ✅ Agency owners

    ✅ Freelancers

    ✅ Solo CEOs

    ✅ Small shop founders

    ✅ Membership builders

    ✅ Nonprofit starters

    ✅ Retreat creators

    ✅ Brand strategists

    ✅ Community leads

    ✅ Product based businesses

    ✅ Course creators

    ✅ Scaling startups

    ✅ PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE!

  • YES! There’s no rule that says your first “hire” needs to be full time. This process works with every person you bring into your business.

    In this intensive, we co-create ONE role together, and it can be for literally any hire type that’ll help you scale:

    ✅ Contractors

    ✅ Full-time employees

    ✅ Part-time roles

    ✅ Freelancers

    ✅ Retainers

    ✅ Fractional hires

    ✅ Interns or short-term hires

    ✅ Temp-to-perm or trial structures

    ✅ In-house or remote roles

    ✅ Hybrid team structures

    ✅ LITERALLY ANYONE

    We can even work on a strategy to help the disparate parts of your existing “team” work better together!

  • No worries. We’ll start from the ground up, covering everything from creating your first job profile to building a team structure that’s as flexible as it is effective. You’ll gain confidence and clarity at every step.

  • Corporate management experience is a huge asset! But leading and building your own business FEELS personal, and most founders are surprised by that reality! Unlike established corporate structures, you’re designing roles and organizational frameworks from scratch.

    That’s where it becomes SO IMPACTFUL to have a partner by your side who’s been there before. Together we’ll make faster decisions and longer-term moves — the ones that can shape your business growth for years to come.

  • Number one, you’ve got consistent revenue.

    And if the thought of launching makes you feel worried about how you're going to handle the extra volume and work, and you're going it alone (or you’ve got a person who can't actually help) -- then this is definitely for you.

    This is true even if you’re only looking to bring on 1 person.

    AND, I would count part-timers, trusted consultants, fractional hires, and even vendors as part of your team. It’s not limited to full-timers.

    If someone is doing work on your behalf, the core skills and strategy will transfer whether someone’s full time or not.

  • So many of my clients say this! There are a few common scenarios:

    • The role was focused on the tasks you needed done at the time, but the person couldn't do any more

    • You were hopeful the person had potential, but they weren't a fit for your / their next step of growth

    • The person showed up great in their interview, but it was different once they started

    Sometimes, it's about job design.

    Sometimes, it's about learning how to conduct an effective interview and interpret people's answers.

    Sometimes, it's about taking a longer-term view towards the capabilities you will need in the future.

    And honestly? A lot of times, it's actually about letting go. Most founders struggle with this, and that's normal!

    I'm here to help you diagnose and structure all of this -- you won't have to rely on learning by trial and error anymore.

  • OF COURSE!! Click HERE to grab a spot on my calendar -- feel free to book a time that works for you. In this session we'll have an informal chat to see if we're a good match for each other. Give some thought to your biggest goals and challenges where you feel you could use support, and we'll brainstorm on them. Can't wait to meet you!
