Ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper and turned out to be an absolute nightmare?

You're not alone. One bad hire can cost more than a tax investigation, and cause twice the stress. In this episode of FFS, Rachael is joined by David Dand from Coreus, a boutique talent consultancy helping SMEs attract, recruit, and retain the right people.

They get into why the biggest mistake businesses make isn't a lack of candidates, it's a lack of authenticity. Why culture fit matters more than most owners think. The real cost of getting recruitment wrong (hint: it's a lot more than four times someone's salary). And why recruitment might just be the last thing you should ever delegate.

From dodgy CV clichés to the questions that actually reveal who someone is, this one's essential listening for anyone who's ever made a hiring decision they later regretted, or is about to make one.
