This podcast is designed especially for those wearing multiple hats—whether you’re the only HR person at your company, a business owner figuring out HR as you go, or someone who just got handed the HR file and a wish for good luck. Typically designed for those managing HR in a 1-500 headcount firm, although we often talk about navigating life in the less than 100 space because we know that is the space where the most nuance, and most chaos, exists. Each episode will bring real talk (no corporate fluff), practical advice, and helpful insights from Sabrina, and occasionally other members of the Acacia team who truly understand the ups and downs of HR in companies with 1 to 500 employees because they are doing the work every single day. Think of it as your HR support system. One that actually gets what it’s like to do this work in a small business setting.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T04:18:25.001652+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891"},"episode":{"title":"Hiring Without a Recruiting Team","slug":"hiring-without-a-recruiting-team","published_at":"2026-04-22T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891/hiring-without-a-recruiting-team","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hr-connection-podcast-with-sabrina-baker-7359891","url":"https://hrconnectionwithsabrinabaker.podbean.com/e/hiring-without-a-recruiting-team/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/k79rpf9n6d2kwypd/HRC_420268qm61.mp3","summary":"Recruiting in a small business rarely lives in a neat, dedicated function. More often, it gets layered on top of an already full HR workload. In this episode, Sabrina and Marie break down what that actually looks like in practice—and how to make it manageable. The conversation focuses on how to approach recruiting when time, resources, and structure are limited. Instead of trying to build a perfect process, this episode walks through how to prioritize what matters, simplify where possible, and create just enough structure to keep things moving. In this episode, we cover: The “two jobs” problem and why recruiting often feels like a second full-time role Why recruiting starts to feel broken (and what’s actually causing it) A practical triage framework for managing open roles What “minimum viable” recruiting infrastructure looks like in a small business Where recruiting tends to break down as companies grow How to push back on leadership when expectations don’t match capacity Resources mentioned: Templates and tools are available at: acaciahrsolutions.com You can find our previous episode on recruiting by browsing the podcast feed","meta_description":"Recruiting in a small business rarely lives in a neat, dedicated function.
