Hiring Intelligence

Before you hire the wrong role at the wrong time.

Your team feels stretched, but more payroll could squeeze your margins. BAAB helps you see whether you need more people or a better setup.

Hiring Intelligence · Advisory memo

Request for two more support hires

Example

The situation

Reply times doubled and the team asked for two full-time hires, adding about $140k a year.

Fix the setup before adding people

The team isn't short of people. Most requests are repeat questions customers could solve themselves.

What BAAB noticed

Repeat questions: 180 of 280 weekly requests are routine billing or login issues.
Margin impact: Two hires would cut service margin from 62% to 51%.

Recommended next move

Add self-service billing and help guides, then review the workload again in 45 days.
