If there’s one question we get over and over again from small businesses looking to scale it’s “how do I know when it’s time to hire?”
We are excited to offer a new valuable resource for small business owners: "How to Know When You Need to Hire," a comprehensive guide designed to help you determine when it’s time to expand your team or consider outsourcing.
This Lee Group guide is available for free download and provides practical insights to align talent with your business growth.
Here’s a quick summary of some key points covered in the guide:

- Special Projects vs. Recurring Needs Learn the difference between hiring for a special project and an ongoing need. If the task is temporary or project-based, consider outsourcing or hiring a temp worker. For recurring tasks, like accounting or regular maintenance, hiring a permanent employee may be more effective.

By reviewing how you spend your time, you can determine which tasks can be delegated or outsourced, freeing you up to focus on high-value activities.
