Desperate to fill an open role? That's exactly when you make your worst hiring decisions. In this episode, Mitch McDermott, Founder of Talent Ascension Group, reveals the hiring traps that sink new leaders and how to avoid them.

You'll discover why you're probably interviewing resumes instead of people, the three types of candidates (and which one you actually need), and why learning from a candidate's questions matters more than their perfectly rehearsed answers.

Mitch also tackles the tough stuff: handling job hoppers, dealing with senior leaders who overrule your decisions, and why you'll never have certainty in hiring (and that's okay). Whether you're making your first hire or trying to fix past mistakes, this episode gives you practical strategies to hire smarter.
