Podcast Recap: How to Prep, Scale & Win with the Right Tech Stack

I recently had the chance to join Travis Webb, Jared Hummel, and Travis Arnold on the PARQA PulseCast for a conversation that’s right in Broad & Madison’s wheelhouse — how staffing firms can actually win with their tech stack (instead of getting buried by it).

We talked about the real challenges firms face when trying to grow:

• Too many tools, not enough adoption

• Tech stacks built for leadership dashboards, not recruiter productivity

• And that classic pattern of buying software before defining the process it’s supposed to support

Tech Isn’t the Problem — It's How You're Using It

There’s no shortage of platforms out there. But the firms that scale successfully are the ones that:

• Align tools with real workflow needs

• Get internal buy-in through enablement, not mandates

• Keep their stack lean and focused on ROI — not logos

Spoiler: you probably don’t need another tool. You need to make the ones you have work better together.

Fractional Admin: A Smarter Way to Support Scale

One of the biggest takeaways from the episode was this: staffing firms don’t need more software, they need better support. That’s exactly what our Fractional Admin model is built for — ongoing, hands-on platform enablement that helps you scale smarter without ballooning headcount or wrangling never-ending SOWs.

We’re not here to sell you dashboards. We’re here to help you use what you already own — better, faster, and with less friction.

There were plenty of laughs, a few strong opinions, and some solid ideas any staffing leader can steal and use right now.

Big thanks to the PARQA and Boostie teams for having me on. Always good to talk shop with folks who get it.
