Hiring and Recruitment
Hiring and Recruitment
107 episodes carry hiring/recruitment-tagged segments — hiring is one of the show's most consistent practical themes, from methods to the "war for talent."
What's been said
- Culture-fit hiring works — but only sometimes. Leanne's guidance: understand the role's real knowledge/skills/abilities first, then use a mixed-methods approach that is predictive of performance, rather than defaulting to "culture fit" .
- Hybrid changed the medium, not the method. Recruitment itself shifted online/video/remote, but the fundamentals of assessment largely stayed the same — the process kept its shape, just changed delivery .
- The "fight for talent" is really about engagement. The war-for-talent framing connects directly to the show's engagement core — you attract and keep people through the same culture levers .
- AI in recruitment can automate bias. A recurring caution that hiring algorithms risk scaling existing bias rather than fixing it .
