How do we know whether we're recruiting the right people?

In this episode of the Social Housing Round Table, host Matt Baird is joined by Dee Roberts-Molloy, Assistant Director for Strategic HR at Birmingham City Council, for an honest discussion about modern talent acquisition and why traditional recruitment approaches often fall short.

Together they explore what competence really looks like, why behaviours matter just as much as technical knowledge, how organisations can make better hiring decisions, and what leaders should be considering in an increasingly competitive recruitment market. The conversation also touches on organisational culture, candidate experience, values-based recruitment and the importance of creating recruitment processes that identify potential as well as capability.

Whether you work in HR, leadership or operational management, this episode offers practical insights to help you attract, assess and retain the people who will make the biggest difference to your organisation and the communities you serve.
