In this episode, Scott sits down with Paul Sanneman, founder of Contractor Staffing Source, to tackle one of the biggest headaches in the landscaping industry: finding (and keeping) good employees.

Paul has helped contractors across North America hire over 4,500 team members—and in this conversation, he breaks down exactly why your hiring strategy probably isn’t working, and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

1. Why the best candidates are never on job boards (and how to reach them)

2. The real difference between hiring and recruiting (and why it matters)

3. How to use AI to write better job ads and build a reliable hiring system

4. What landscapers get wrong about pay, culture, and onboarding

Plus, Paul shares the one mistake that kills company culture faster than anything else—and how to avoid it.
