I spend 50% of time in recruiting, and the other in helping my current team perform better....

Which is majorly aligning them on goals and checking on how they are doing avoiding burn out etc.

What are the best ways to do this??? ha ha we don't have an HR team yet so maybe that's the answer?

Yes getting an HR team is usually the first step :) You can also try people engagement tools like https://www.kaapi.team/ and https://lattice.com/ etc

Disclaimer - I am a founder at Kaapi the tool I mentioned above

This is a real problem faced by many early stage bootstrapping startups, I recruited inexperienced individuals for my first startup and end up spending much of my time training them. On hindsight, that might not be the best recruitment decision but a bootstrapping startup with limited investment doesn't have a choice.

Once the startup grew I was able to recruit best talent available for money, Though I didn't spend time training them my time managing them only increased.

On the other hand there's another sub-problem related to this - Introvert CEO who don't want to engage with the employees.

I guess solutions for both involve improving the efficiency of hiring a people person who can do things which we don't want to do.
