When talent meets opportunity…and sometimes total chaos.
This week, we’re joined by Colleen Pelly, CEO and founder of The Linchpin Co, to pull back the curtain on how recruiting actually works. From her time hiring for companies like Lululemon and Tesla to building her own firm, Colleen shares the wildest candidate stories, the nightmare clients, and why some companies still won’t hire women. We dig into personality bias, the decline of DEI, and whether AI is about to ruin the hiring process completely. Plus, we debate "crying a little for the bag," if referrals really matter, and whether recruiters ever read the résumé you spent four hours formatting.
We want to hear from you! Send in your Corporate Confessions, Dear Demoted questions, and Shout-outs right here: https://forms.gle/nJc667dUL65Xh63C6
