ATTENTION: Small BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE DONE GAMBLING ON HIRES

How to Know Your Next Hire Is the Right Hire Before You Ever Make the Offer

In two days, you'll see everything that goes into making a great hire, and every place it quietly goes wrong, so your next hire can finally feel like relief instead of another project to manage.

2-Day Virtual Event

Dates: August 31 and September 1, 2026 | Time: 1:00-2:30 PM Eastern

Event Starts In...

Most Small Business Owners Hire From a Place of Fear and End Up Paying For It

You’re busy. You’re stretched thin. You know you need help, but the thought of handing your work to someone new makes your stomach turn. You’ve already tried.

You hired someone who:

▪️Looked great on paper… but couldn’t do the job

▪️Needed constant help, checks, and follow-ups

▪️Created more work instead of taking it off your plate

And now? You hesitate. You overthink. You hold onto work longer than you should.

Not because you want to… But because you don’t want to deal with another bad hire.

So you tell yourself: “I’ll just wait a little longer,” or “I’ll figure it out later.”

Meanwhile, you’re working too many hours, stuck in the day-to-day, and watching your growth slow down.

And the worst part? You start to question: “Can I even trust myself to hire the right person?”

That’s the part no one talks about. Why This Keeps Happening (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)

You were never shown how to actually predict if someone will succeed in the role.

So you rely on:

▪️Gut feeling

▪️Resumes

▪️Assessments

▪️“They seem nice”

But none of that tells you: Can they do the job in your business?

So hiring feels like a risk every time.

There’s a Better Way to Hire, And It’s Not More Candidates

Inside the No More Bad Hires Virtual Event, you’ll learn the H.I.R.E. Method — a simple decision framework that helps you stop guessing and start spotting the right hire before you make the offer.

In 2 live sessions over 2 days, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Get crystal clear on the role so you stop hiring “help” and hoping it works

✔ Identify red flags early (before you waste weeks interviewing the wrong people)

✔ See how the right questions reveal real capability, and why the usual interview never gets there

✔ See what separates a confident yes from a costly no, and why so many owners get it wrong even when they're trying hard

By the end, you'll see the whole process end to end, every step it takes, every place it breaks, and you'll know whether this is something you want to take on yourself or hand to someone who lives in it.

No “hope this works” hires.

No hiring based on vibes.

No more paying for learning through trial and error.

Just a practical way to hire someone you can trust, so you can finally hand work off without anxiety.

Here’s What’s Possible When You Hire This Way

“Prior to hiring Growing Your Team, we really struggled with where to post jobs, how to draft the perfect job posting, and how to screen candidates, which led to significant hiring delays. Hiring Jamie took all of that frustration away. She was able to step in and get a really good idea of what we were looking for in just a short amount of time. With Growing Your Team on our team, the decision to hire is no longer a struggle.”

MYKALA

“When we were looking to grow our team, we wanted a partner who really got us, our culture, and what we were trying to solve for in this new hire. We knew that we needed to look outside of our “usual suspects” (our networks) and expand our reach. From the gate, Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, professional, AND made the entire journey incredibly simple. I never expected to enjoy it as much as I did and felt a great bit of comfort knowing Jamie was by our side the entire time! We highly recommend growing your team with Jamie and her team!”

ELENA

“Once again, I want to thank you so much for your help. I was getting a bit overwhelmed for a hot second just glancing at the resumes, and then I pulled up your Candidate tracking and WOW was it helpful. It made it very clear on why I was approving or rejecting an applicant. Thank you again for your hard work with this. Having the tools in my back pocket was the best decision and wow, I feel so much more confident.”

CATE

“Meeting with Jamie and discussing what I need, she was able to organize my thoughts and create a clear list of what specifically I am looking for in my next hire. It’s not about titles, it’s knowing specifics of what I needed help with. I’ve been wanting to hire someone for over a year and with Jamie’s guidance I was able to feel confident enough to hire someone within 2 weeks! Thank you so much, Jamie, for your support, I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for you!!”

What If Your Next Hire Actually Worked Out?

You log in… and you’re not already behind. Your inbox isn’t full of “quick questions.” You’re not cleaning up mistakes from yesterday.

The things you used to dread opening your laptop to face?

Handled. Progressed. Off your plate.

No chasing people for updates. No redoing work because they “didn’t get it.” No staying up late because you don’t trust anyone else to finish it.

Instead, you have:

✔ A morning that starts calm because the basics are covered

✔ Mental space again because you’re not carrying the whole business in your head

✔ A team member you trust who actually follows through without you hovering

Your current hiring approach hasn’t given you that. Two focused days with me can.

If you’re done gambling on hires and hoping it works out… this is where that changes.

Hey, I'm Jamie Van Cuyk

I’m the CEO and Lead Strategist of Growing Your Team®, and for the last 15+ years I’ve helped small business owners hire the right people without crossing their fingers and hoping it works out.

Before entrepreneurship, I led teams in corporate and learned firsthand that most hiring “training” doesn’t teach you how to hire well; it teaches you how to stay compliant. So business owners end up learning hiring through trial and error, with their time, their money, and their sanity on the line.

Today, I teach a clear, repeatable approach to hiring that helps you:

✔get clear on who you actually need

✔spot red flags early

✔choose with confidence

✔and build a team you can truly trust to take work off your plate

I’m also a best-selling author, the host of The Growing Your Team Podcast, and my work has been featured in outlets like Thrive Global, Authority Magazine, KNOW Women, and Voyage Tampa, where I talk about hiring, team building, and leadership for small businesses.

Day 1: Why Bad Hires Happen

You’ll learn:

Why bad hires are so common in small businesses and why “trying harder” isn’t the fix
The real cost of a bad hire (the visible costs and the hidden ones that stall growth)
Why the “usual fixes” fail: more job boards, AI job posts, delegating hiring, recruiters, and what they miss
Why waiting to hire when you know you need help quietly caps revenue and increases burnout
The one missing “fit factor” that determines whether someone succeeds in your role, in your company

Day 2: The H.I.R.E. Method

You’ll learn:

The origin of the H.I.R.E. Method and why “good on paper” doesn’t mean “right for you”
The 4-step framework to go from “I need help” to “I trust this person to do the job”
Where most people go wrong with hiring and how it leads to hiring generic talent
How one great hire changes productivity, revenue, retention, and your capacity to grow

What If I Make Another Bad Hire?

That fear makes sense. A bad hire doesn’t just cost money; it costs weeks of cleanup, missed deadlines, and the mental load of carrying everything yourself again.

Most bad hires happen for one reason: you hire off signals that don’t predict performance. Resumes, charm, “seems reliable,” gut instinct, or a generic interview that never tests the work.

During this event, you’ll learn how to:

Define the role so clearly that “good on paper” stops fooling you
Ask questions that surface capability (not rehearsed answers)
Spot red flags early so you stop wasting time on the wrong candidates
Choose with confidence because you’ll be deciding based on evidence, not hope

Hiring stops feeling like roulette when you can see the truth before you make the offer.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to already have a job posting ready to attend?

No. You just need to know you want to hire this year.

What if I can’t attend live both days?

We recommend attending live, but replays will be available for a limited time, so you don’t miss the content.

Is this only for a specific type of business?

This live event is designed for women-owned small businesses with 1–20 employees across all types of industries. If you’re looking to hire a team member this year, this is for you.

What if I don’t have time to do hiring right?

Here's the honest answer: doing hiring right takes real time, and it's more than most business owners have to spare.

This event shows you exactly what that time and effort looks like, start to finish, so you can decide how you want to handle it.

Some people take what they learn and carve out the hours to do it themselves. Others realize their time is better spent running their business, and they'd rather hand the process to someone who does this every week. Either way, you'll walk away knowing what great hiring actually requires and what it's been costing you to keep doing it the slow, in-circles way.

What if I can’t afford to get this wrong?

That’s exactly why you need a decision process you trust. A bad hire costs more than wages; it costs your time, missed deadlines, lost clients, rework, stress on the team, and the momentum you don’t get back. This event is designed to help you reduce that risk by teaching you how to make the decision based on evidence, not hope.

This isn’t about spending more money. It’s about spending smarter and protecting what you’ve already built.

What if everyone interviews well and I still can’t tell?

That’s normal, because most interviews are built for personality, not performance.

At this event, you’ll learn how to ask questions that reveal how someone thinks, solves problems, and handles real situations from the role, so you’re not hiring the most likable candidate; you’re hiring the one who can actually do the work without constant oversight. The goal is simple: you should know far earlier who’s a “no,” and feel far more confident when someone is a “yes.”

What if I don’t trust my judgment anymore?

That’s not a character flaw. That’s a normal response to getting burned.

A bad hire doesn’t just cost money; it teaches you, “My judgment can’t be trusted.” So you start overthinking everything, delaying decisions, and holding onto work longer than you should.

This event is built to rebuild trust in your decision-making by giving you a clear, repeatable way to evaluate fit before you make the offer. You’re not relying on vibes, charm, or a “good interview.” You’re using a process that helps you see capability, alignment, and red flags earlier, so you can say yes with confidence and stop carrying the mental load of “what if I’m wrong again?”

You don’t need more resumes.

You need relief you can trust.

Whether you run it yourself or have us run it for you, you'll leave knowing exactly what your next great hire takes.

The right hire gives you time back, mental space back, and momentum back. This is where you learn how to identify that person before Day 1 on the job. Grab your $7 Ticket Before Registration Closes.
