Episode 7: You Can't Hire for Skills You Don't Have. Or Why Recruitment Is Still So Broken.

Recruitment is one of the most costly areas organisations consistently get wrong - and it isn't a new problem. We've had decades to fix it and we still haven't. In this episode I get into why: most people involved in hiring and recruitment don't have the skills to do it well, and no amount of process, standardisation or AI screening fixes a human development problem you're not willing to name. If you want to improve your hiring, start by asking whether the people running that process have one of the core skills needed in every single hire your organisation makes.
