I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

How often have you met a new hire and asked yourself, “Who hired this person, and why?”

Well, I have news for you, as the leader, this will be you. You will hire people that won’t work out, and your team will question how and why you chose this person.

But, most often, it’s not your fault because new leaders very rarely, if ever, receive any type of training or education to select new hires.

And so, in this episode, you’ll hear from Mark Herschberg, chief technology officer, MIT instructor, author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills That No One Taught You, and creator of the Brain Bump app, who will delve into hiring methods to assess potential candidates, identifying their strengths and weaknesses to ensure the strongest team possible.
