#92: Hiring in 2026: what candidates and companies get wrong
Episode Notes
Konstanty Sliwowski has spent over two decades in hiring, interviewing more than 12,000 candidates along the way.
In this conversation we explore what a broken hiring process actually costs, why mass applying rarely works, and what both candidates and companies get fundamentally wrong. A practical and honest conversation for anyone navigating the job market or responsible for building a team.
Our Guest: Konstanty Sliwowski
Konstanty Sliwowski is a 3x founder with 2x exits, and Oxford-educated practitioner who has spent over twenty years advising leadership teams across Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East on the decisions that shape organisations. He has conducted more than 12,000 interviews, facilitated over 1,000 hires, and today runs School of Hiring, where he works with founders and people leaders on the questions that keep them up at night: Should we hire? Should we promote from within? Should we invest in training? Or is AI now the smarter answer? His argument is simple. Most leaders treat these as separate problems. They are not. They are one decision, and most organisations are making it without a system.
