Looking to scale your team? Start with a recruiting philosophy.

Here's what great teams need over time...

Four key archetypes to build around:
- The Shipper: Gets things done and out the door
- The Communicator: Builds shared vision, agreement
- The Thinker: Brings depth and perspectives
- The Optimizer: Masters processes, ensures alignment

The magic? You don't need all these players at once. And the balance (or blend) can shift as you grow.

What matters is having a clear vision of WHO you're recruiting and WHY.

Your hiring philosophy is your compass for building a killer team. 🎯
