🎙️ Episode 11 — Building Better Teams: Shawn Day of Hire Lead Chill
In this episode of Through the Noise, I sit down with Shawn Day, co-founder of Hire Lead Chill, to talk about what it really takes to solve one of the biggest pain points in business—hiring and keeping great people. From managing over 100 employees to building a nationwide recruiting company, Shawn shares how he turned frustration into a business model that’s reshaping how the home service industry hires.
We dive into:
- How Shawn went from owning a cleaning company to founding Hire Lead Chill
- The difference between recruiting and marketing (and why they’re the same thing)
- Why speed and ego are the biggest killers in hiring
- How to use core values to attract the right people and keep them longer
- What it really means to “build a bench” and always be recruiting
- The balance between automation, AI, and human connection in hiring
- How Hire Lead Chill became the first to bring this model to home services
If you’ve ever struggled with finding good people—or keeping them—this episode will change the way you look at recruiting, leadership, and team culture.
