This week, we have one of our Admin Mastery mentors on the podcast, Brigid Linden, to talk about hiring and recruiting people into your admin team. She shares her hiring process and some tips to help you identify the right person for your team, and also talks about the lessons she’s learned in leading and managing her admin team.
