“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.”
—Red Adair
Every time I see this quote, I’m reminded of how true it is in hiring. The cheapest option almost always turns out to be the most expensive.
Expertise saves you money, time, and headaches, always. The hard lesson is this: what looks like a good deal usually isn’t.
Quality has its price.

Hiring Isn’t About Filling Gaps, It’s About Building With Purpose
We often think of hiring as patchwork: there’s a hole, so we scramble to fill it. But I believe building a truly great team isn’t about plugging gaps—it’s about recognizing potential and making room for it.
That’s how I think about hiring at Staff4Half. Because we’re building with purpose, we’re not just filling seats. To me, hiring is about inviting someone to join a mission.
I started this company to create opportunity, connecting brilliant Argentine talent with U.S. companies doing meaningful work. And that’s why I’m so excited to welcome Guadalupe to our team.
She brings experience in social media and a strong understanding of our space, but what stood out most was her eagerness to grow and her mindset. We’ve already started working on the podcast relaunch, and I’m excited for everything ahead with her.
I know she’ll bring heart and sharp thinking to everything she touches.
Guada, I’m thrilled to have you on this journey. Let’s build something meaningful, together 🚀

The Hiring Conversation: Building Teams with Heart
Some ideas arrive fully formed.
But others take years to find their place. For me, building companies has always been more than just building products or services. It’s about the people:The ones we hire,
The ones we grow with, and sometimes
The ones we have to let go.
Over the years, I’ve come to embrace that people component more and more. Leadership without people at heart is nothing. That’s why I’m bringing back The Rosemary Czopek Podcast with a new season called ‘The Hiring Conversation’. I want this to be a place for candid, open talks with (women) founders about what it really takes to build great teams from people:How do they hire?
How do they lead?And how do they build teams that last?
We’ll talk about what worked, and most importantly, what didn’t. Because it’s the failures that teach us the most. Learning from those who’ve been there and are willing to share their experiences has always been the most effective for me. And that’s what I want this new season to be:
A place for mutual learning.
