The "bad hire" stories no one talks about

Hiring Myths or Truths, what do you think of these?

AI in hiring: a help or a headache? ?? AI is brilliant at sifting through large volumes of CVs, but it’s only as good as the information it’s given. If you don’t search the right keywords, you won’t find the right people. That’s a problem when top talent isn’t applying for roles. They’re busy delivering results, not updating their CVs to match an algorithm. If a brilliant sales leader uses the wrong job title or a company calls them something slightly different, they can get overlooked entirely. Where AI does help is in research. Building targeted search strings, mapping industries, the talent landscape and generating target company lists. But recruitment isn’t just about filtering CVs. It’s about understanding leadership, culture, and the characteristics that make the individual the right fit. AI doesn’t replace headhunting, it just makes some of the groundwork a little easier. #headhunting #recruitment #sales #operations

Rachel Reeves lied about jobs at Bank of England. Why does does this not surprise us ?

Is it true that people don't work as hard when working from home?

In a fast-paced business environment, leadership decisions often make or break success. This year, focus on these three guiding principles: Clarity over complexity: The best leaders simplify processes and create focus. Start asking: how can we make things easier, not harder? Cultural alignment is key: Skills can be taught; values can’t. When hiring or promoting, consider: will this person fit seamlessly into your company’s culture? Adaptability beats rigidity: The challenges of 2025 won’t look like 2024. Leaders who embrace change and encourage innovation will stay ahead. Every decision matters. Which leadership quality will you prioritise this year? Anything I've missed? #leadership #success #growth

Happy new year! This year, let’s commit to doing things differently. Let’s lead with purpose, not just process. Let’s celebrate progress, not just perfection. And most importantly, let’s focus on empowering people to achieve their best, because businesses don’t grow without the people who power them. 2025 is your chance to set a vision that inspires, take risks that matter, and build teams that thrive. Be bold. Be intentional. Amazing things happen when you do. Who’s with me? #newyear #progress #growth

2025 is around the corner, but for now, Santa’s got the list covered. Have you been naughty (too many meetings!) or nice (hit your goals easily)? Either way, now’s the time to wind down and look ahead. What’s one thing you know you want to do differently next year? Please share your plans with me below. Have a fab Christmas and an even better start to 2025. #christmas #newyear #success

I?practice yoga in my garage in the mornings before work, two or three times a week. I love the 'outside' feeling and it’s even better when it rains! A quick 10-15 minute morning routine is enough to settle my mind and adjust my mindset for the day. The other mornings I swim, and when I swim my mind is more active but I find it helpful to swim to?organise thoughts and to plan my day ahead. Next is the dog walk; 30 minutes around the river. Even though I see the same space every day, I love watching the change in seasons and the nature that surrounds it. I feel grateful for my surroundings and for having my best friend with me. And yes, I have to get up early to fit this in and be in my office on time (5.30am).? If I swim, I start a bit later. The loss of half an hour's work is worth swapping for the right headspace. I’m more productive in less time. These daily rituals help me feel prepared and focused for the day, and the tougher the day is, the more critical it is that I don’t miss them. What are your morning rituals? Please share! Now, I did want to attach a picture to this post, but I couldn't quite figure out how to take an elegant photo while performing the downward dog... so... thanks to this cutie for stepping in ?? Not my dog, btw! #yoga #walking #dogs #routine
