How thoughtful are you really being when hiring your next employee? Do you have a solid strategy in place, or are you just picking random questions from an AI-generated question bank? No judgment here, we’ve all been there! But what if you had a system? What if taking a little extra time and care in your hiring process could actually help you retain top talent and avoid costly mistakes? This week’s guest can help you with that.
