#143: Should You Hire Part-Time or Full-Time First? Here's How To Know
One of the biggest hiring questions founders wrestle with is this: "Should my first hire be part-time or full-time?" And honestly, this decision keeps a lot of people stuck way longer than they need to be. Most founders automatically lean toward part-time because it feels safer financially… but safer doesn't always mean smarter for the season of business you're actually in. In this episode, we're breaking down how to make this decision strategically instead of emotionally. We're talking about the real signals that point toward part-time versus full-time, the hidden ways under-hiring can actually keep you overwhelmed, and how to know if you're trying to squeeze a full-time need into a part-time budget. We'll also get into the hybrid approach most founders never think about, how to structure either option well, and the honest questions you need to ask yourself before bringing someone on.
