Scale Up! by Sarah Bishop

The Founders’ Guide to Accelerating Growth by Building Dream Teams
Do you lie awake at night wondering how to scale your start-up without burning out or breaking your business?
If you're juggling everything from high turnover to failed hires and feel like growth is just out of reach, you're not alone. Many founders hit a wall when trying to scale without a solid people strategy in place. But what if the key to explosive growth wasn’t doing more but hiring smarter?
In Scale Up! The Founders’ Guide to Accelerating Growth by Building Dream Teams, recruitment powerhouse Sarah Bishop reveals the exact strategies that helped catapult a start-up from zero to £30M in just 21 months – all by hiring the right people at the right time.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
- Craft a recruitment strategy that actually drives growth, not just fills seats.
- Avoid the expensive mistakes most start-ups make when hiring.
- Identify the talent you need before you need it – and when outsourcing might be your secret weapon.
- Choose and work with recruiters who truly understand your vision and culture.
- Build an internal team that can sustain your growth and eventually make your recruiter redundant.
Imagine having a high-performance team that shares your passion, operates with agility, and propels your business forward. And all while you finally get a full night’s sleep!
This book hands you the blueprint to do just that. It’s time to scale with less chaos, fewer bad hires, and a lot more confidence.
