Hiring Organized People

When you first start a business, you think you know everything that’s needed to run a business and don’t need anyone’s help. This is primarily because you have a lot of energy and you don’t actually know (at that time) what things will be asked of you. For me - that’s lasted for a few years but now that we have a few employees and we’re getting busier and busier - I just don’t have the time to keep up with it all.

I’m finding myself dealing to much with internal operations, budgeting, forecasting, etc… while trying to do billable work and most importantly think of what’s next.

Apply for this JobSo I’m taking next steps to reduce what I’d rather not do and hire someone who’s core strengths are in the areas I don’t have.

It’s not that we have all this money at Elevator Up to hire all these people - we just need people to work in the areas they are experts in, everything else should ideally be done by someone else. Don’t confuse that for not working hard and foolishly growing when you simply don’t like taking on responsibilities/tasks.

So if you are an organized person and your first question to me isn’t - “What’s the pay?”, head over to our job listing on Linkedin or email me directly at aaron AT elevatorup DOT COM.

I’m not that organized but I will literally work for the shells of peanuts just to lick off the salt. Can I have a job?
