In this brief monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, argues against hiring from personal networks—friends, family, or existing clients. She explains that such hires come with pre‑existing biases and preconceived notions about the business owner, placing the candidate in a mental "box" that limits their view of the owner as a professional needing staff. Liu prefers hiring individuals who have no prior perception of her, allowing a more objective, business‑focused relationship.

Here's why you shouldn't hire from your personal network or family or friends. The reason for that is I think too many people hire from their networks. They're like, let me just ask friends and family and my clients. And then you get people who have a bias about you, right? They've already got their idea of who you are and what you do. They have this box that they put you in. I don't like hiring people that see me in the box. I want to hire people that don't see me in the box and just know that I'm a business person that needs to hire somebody.
