How to Hire Fast and Effectively

When a $36M manufacturing company lost its creative co-founder, the driving force behind branding and marketing, the CEO knew an important truth: he couldn’t fill that role himself. In this episode, Beka Shea unpacks how she helped the company rebuild its marketing leadership fast and right, using behavioral analytics, clarity of goals, and a strategic hiring process that delivered 12 qualified candidates in just two weeks.

Through this story, Beka shares a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when leadership meets data-driven people strategy: how to avoid million-dollar hiring mistakes, how to pair the right talent with the right leader, and how mindset can flip a hiring challenge into a growth opportunity.

Whether you’re scaling, replacing a partner, or simply trying to hire smarter, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, process, and trust in your team.
