In a chronically online world, it's easy for personal opinions to get caught up in professional contexts.In this episode, we discuss examples of how this shows up, and explore when it might be totally acceptable, and alternatively, when sharing opinion as fact might be detrimental - or even discriminatory.It's a complicated conversation, with nuance and no definitive, but worth the conversation!
In this week's episode, we're talking whether employers who are hiring should stick with the traditional methods, or whether they should explore branching out in other ways in order to stand out and, if so, what that might actually look like. It's a useful conversation if you're hiring and struggling to get the reach or quality of candidate you're needing.
In this episode, Gary and Deon explore the two different options candidates have when going for roles: following the process as indicated, or try something different in order to stand out.While it can seem tempting to do the latter with the job market the way it is, and safe to do the former, we explore the pros and cons of both and share how you CAN go about things.

In this week's episode Deon is joined by COO Jess Jasch, while Gary is away, to discuss the importance of communication prior to having "the chat" with an employee who seems to be underperforming. Have a listen to hear the 5 things they suggest checking in with FIRST, and why it's important.

One thing we see too much of is hiring manager's thinking they have more time to secure a candidate than they do.And that pressure isn't coming from us, the recruiters!In this episode, Deon and Gary share how hiring managers are getting in their own way, and what they can do instead, even if they still need to take some time to work things out on their end.
At some point in your high-performer's careers, they had the opportunity to build their experience without necessarily knowing HOW to do the job well to begin with. And yet, this is something that is sometimes forgotten in the hiring process.

They also share our own in-team experience of having an actual superstar in our team, by being willing to train them ...
It's easy to have a list of things that you automatically relegated to the red flag bin. In this episode, we explore when that is the case, and when it's simply a sign to get more information so that you don't misjudge a perfectly good opportunity or candidate!
In this episode, Deon and Gary clear up a few common misconceptions around hiring and recruitment they've seen lately, including:- Fake job ads- Recruiters don't go back to people that sit on their database- The client pays the bill, so we only work for them- The "perfect" job or company exists.Tune in to learn how they mythbust these!
Work life balance is one of those buzz terms thrown around in the professional space, when it can really mean a range of things (if it exists at all).In this episode, we explore what work life balance has historically meant, and what it means now - deconstructing hybrid, work from home, and full in-office language so that you can start to define it more as an employee or an employer.
