Hiring without losing a month of your life

Writing the job post, reading fifty applications, chasing no-show interviews, then training the new person. Friday does the parts that eat your time and answers the new hire's questions after.

Wednesday, 11:20 am

Need a part-time front desk person. 20 hrs, weekends. $18/hr

Friday

Posted to Indeed and your Instagram. 31 applications so far.

6 look good: weekend availability, front desk or retail experience, live within 20 minutes. I've texted them to set up 15-minute calls. Four booked for Thursday.

Amazing

Friday

I'll send you a one-page summary on each before the calls.

Hiring is one of the most important things an owner does, and it arrives at the worst possible time: when you're already short-staffed and working extra hours.

The part that eats the month

Writing the post. Posting it in three places. Reading applications at night. Texting people who never answer. Rescheduling the ones who don't show. By the time you've hired someone, you're more tired than when you started.

What Friday does

Then she helps them settle in

A new hire has a hundred small questions: where the spare key is, how to ring up a gift card, what to say when someone asks about a refund. They can text Friday instead of interrupting you mid-client. She knows the answers because you've told her once, and she'll tell them kindly as many times as it takes.

Why it matters

Good people stay where they feel supported from day one. Friday gives you the time to hire well and gives them someone to ask.
