Into The Wild 103. How to Find the Best Freelancers with Emily Perron
Hey you wild women!
My next guest helps online entrepreneurs expand and improve their teams with talented freelancers. Emily Perron's number one goal is to align the right person with the right role, so business owners and freelancers alike feel empowered to work within their individual skill-sets and strengths. Her expertise lies in hiring and managing in your Zone of Genius.
After years of struggling to bring on quality freelancers in her own business, Emily figured there had to be a better way to find great support. Through a lot of trial and error, she learned that hiring freelancers for online businesses is a lot different than traditional corporate hiring strategies. Emily spent years refining her strategic hiring process that has allowed her to connect hundreds of knock-out freelancers with online entrepreneurs. She also teaches her hiring methods inside her self-guided digital course, The Hiring Fix.
In this episode you will learn about:
- What inspired Emily to start her company (12:42)
- Signs that you're ready to hire more support (16:20)

What it means to be a wild woman:
- "Living in alignment with who you are. Knowing your zone of genius, and then making decisions around work, career, life, family in alignment with that." - Emily Perron
