## Resource

When you don’t know what you should own (and what you shouldn’t) during the hiring process, you end up posting job descriptions, screening resumes, running interviews, onboarding new hires…and quickly turning your fractional role into a full-time job. In this episode of my series “What I Do and Don’t Do as a CMO,” I’m breaking down how I handle hiring for clients. We cover: The 5 things I own when it comes to hiring for client teams The biggest mistake I see marketers make when they try to “be helpful” with hiring Where the line is between strategic leadership and operational recruiting And the simple filter I use to protect my time and keep my boundaries Hiring impacts marketing performance — but running the entire process is not your job. If you’ve ever found yourself slipping into recruiter or marketing manager mode, this episode will help you reset your boundaries and operate at the CMO level. Ready to take the next step?
