What if you could avoid the costly pitfalls of hiring the wrong person for your team or company? Get set to uncover strategies that will change the way you perceive the hiring process, as I engage in a riveting conversation with the insightful Kristy Lee Billett, an accomplished HR Consultant and Leadership Coach. Together, we explore how hiring mistakes can have long-term impacts on businesses, especially smaller ones. We draw parallels between a recruitment process and a marketing campaign, and discuss how playing the numbers game can tilt the odds in your favour.

As we venture further into the hiring labyrinth, Kristy and I highlight the importance of assigning roles that truly fit the blueprint of your business. We provide cautionary tales about expecting one person to excel in multiple, unrelated fields and explain why it’s more beneficial to hire two separate people for two separate roles. We also share insights on how asking pertinent interview questions can help you find the best candidate and save you valuable time.

Drawing on our collective experiences, we delve into the ramifications of hiring the wrong person and how such a decision can lead to a toxic work environment. We stress the importance of aligning company culture with a candidate's values, and encourage businesses to be cognizant of their applicants' goals and aspirations. Finally, we take a hard look at the significance of timing in onboarding and the detrimental effects of unconscious bias in hiring decisions. Tune in to equip yourself with strategies to improve your hiring process and build a successful team.
