Introducing Our *NEW* Recruitment Subscription: A New Way to Help You Hire Smarter in 2026
2025 was a big year for Sipley the Best. Our biggest yet, actually.
We served more small businesses than ever before. We waded in the waters with leaders through hiring challenges, HR fires, and culture breakthroughs. We attended 11 job fairs, connected with thousands of job seekers, and continued to prove something I’ve believed since day one:
People-first hiring works.
And small businesses deserve better than what traditional staffing offers.
Now, as we step into 2026 (can you believe we’re already here?), I want to let you in on something new—something we’ve quietly been building behind the scenes that I think is going to change the game for a lot of local employers.
But first, let me take you back.
What I Saw Over and Over Again in 2025
In nearly every business I walked into last year, I saw the same pattern:
Leaders under water
Job ads racking up clicks but delivering zero qualified candidates
Money leaking out every month for platforms like ZipRecruiter and Indeed
And watching good hires drift away; leading them back to a brutal hiring process.
And what hurt the most?
It wasn’t for lack of effort.
These business owners care. They’re trying.
They just don’t have access to the same resources big corporations do.
It’s a Weird Season in Hiring—You’re Not Imagining It
I’ve heard it from both sides lately:
Business owners saying: “We post jobs, but no one serious applies.”
Job seekers saying: “We apply everywhere and never hear back—or we interview and get ghosted.”
It’s weird. There’s a disconnect in the market right now, and it’s leaving both employers and job seekers feeling frustrated, unseen, and stuck.
Here’s what I know: Hiring isn’t broken.
But the way we’ve been doing it? That definitely needs an update.
This in-between season calls for a different approach. Something more human, more strategic, and more local.
That’s exactly what we’re stepping into in 2026.
The Resume Stack: A New Way to Hire in 2026
After five years of growing this business, something unexpected happened:
We started to build a resume stack—a high-quality pool of local job seekers, many of whom I’ve met personally.
These aren’t just names in a database.
These are real people from right here in Central Florida. People I’ve conversed with at job fairs. People I’ve coached. People I’ve watched grow…and people I want to refer to incredible employers.
So I thought, what if we made that stack available to the employers who need it most?
That’s how The Resume Stack was born.
It’s a new annual subscription service for Central Florida businesses who want to simplify their hiring process—without losing the human touch.
And it’s designed with three levels of support, depending on what you need and how involved you want to be. Whether you're just starting to hire, or are an established company ready to build a talent pipeline, there’s a tier that meets you where you are.
Why This Matters
Because you shouldn’t have to rely on cold, pay-per-click job boards to find your next great hire.
Because you deserve real support, not just access.
Because good hiring isn’t just about resumes—it’s about people, values, alignment, and leadership.
And because this is the kind of hiring I could have offered to small businesses years ago.
The Resume Stack includes everything from resume access to strategic hiring calls with me, job promotion across our platforms, and even personalized notes from me on top candidates.
It’s not staffing, and it’s also not DIY.
It’s people-first recruiting that’s actually built for small businesses.
