HIRING PLAN SESSION
Hire in a hurry, and you spend months managing the mistake.
It usually starts the same way.
An old job description copied into a new advert.
A salary picked because it felt about right.
And a choice that comes down to gut feel.
WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS
The wrong hire is more common than you think.
3 in 10
hiring managers made a hiring mistake in the past two years.

WHO YOU'D BE TALKING TO
