Hiring is the hardest thing you'll do as a founder. We talk to people doing it well. Headcount is a podcast for UK business leaders navigating the real complexity of team growth, from first hires to distributed teams, from cost pressure to culture. Each week, we speak to operators who’ve done it: First hires that changed everything, teams that scaled (or didn’t), offshore, remote, hybrid - what actually works, the mistakes that cost real money. Whether you're making your first senior hire, managing a team across time zones, or trying to do more with less, Headcount gives you the playbook from people who've already been there. Hosted by James Townsend-Rose, CEO, Outsourcery
