TMBA 670: Business Updates: Remote First Recruiting, How Much Is Enough, And a Return To ‘The Europe Question’
Podcast 40:08 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
In this week’s show Dan and Ian share their Q4 business updates, including the reasons why they have decided to launch an agency - Remote First Recruiting, which is targeted at startup founders, under the Dynamite Jobs umbrella.
“The best customers of a job board typically have super strong hiring practices that are built over the years … (they’ve) hired for the same position multiple times. Whereas with an agency customer, which are typically startup founders, they're seeking to buy those systems into their business. They know they need to hire, they might be hiring 10 times a year. But every time it's a little bit different, and they want to purchase the systems. That's what the agency does.
”Plus, responses to some great listener questions, including: how much money is ‘enough money’, the mindset challenges of living off capital, and some further reflections on ‘The Europe Question’.

Most long-term TMBA listeners will already be familiar with Travis Jamison’s SEO agency Smash Digital. For the month of October they are bringing back free SEO video audits for the listeners of the pod. Over 200 people took them up on this last year and here’s what the community had to say:
Noel Andrews, CEO of JobRack: “Awesome SEO teardown and review of my site from Smash Digital. Hugely detailed … tons of actionable steps … and clearly lots of opportunity to get huge benefit from focusing more on SEO and working with Smash Digital”.
David Hehenbeger, founder of Flamingo: “I got audits for both of my businesses and they massively overdelivered. Could easily charge for them”.
So if you want to take advantage of this great offer of a free SEO video audit head over to https://smashdigital.com/tmba/
