Most companies hire too fast, fire too slow, and wonder why they stay stuck in the minors. Josh Matthews and business coach Chris Hallberg unpack how “slow to hire, quick to fire” really works — from using assessments and culture filters to holding leaders accountable and scaling simplicity. A masterclass in hiring and leadership without the corporate BS.

Why do so many companies keep hiring the wrong people — and then keep them too long? In this straight-talking episode, Josh and Chris break down what “slow to hire, quick to fire” actually means — and why most organizations get it dead wrong.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn hiring into curation, not desperation
  • Use assessments to find the right wiring
  • Keep panels from killing great candidates
  • Build trust, conflict, and commitment into your culture
  • Scale simplicity instead of complexity

Brutally honest and packed with takeaways, this one’s for leaders and recruiters ready to play in the majors.
