PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT, CHATTING ADHD & RECRUITMENT WITH AIDAN MURRAY
Description
Welcome to the ADHD MEETS BUSINESS PODCAST - It's Episode 5!!!!!!!
We are Leanne and Ross. Today for our fifth episode, we interview Aidan Murray, a lovely man who really cares for his people and that really came across in this interview. He chose a career in recruiting after deferring his university place, and has been passionate about it ever since. In this podcast we cover Aidan's journey to starting his own recruitment company during lockdown. Aila Recruitment. We talk about why he thinks he has ADHD, covering topics from time blindness to walking around the kitchen just to stay focused (we've all been there), structuring his new life, childhood indicators and how having a real passion and purpose for recruiting led him to want to do things his own way. We're really excited to share this episode because he is just at the beginning of his journey of discovery with ADHD, but also, for the record, he is the first interviewee we've had from outside Clubhouse! One of my favourite things Aidan talks about is 'People Before Profit' being a core part of recruitment. That leading with empathy and understanding is something that should always be celebrated, and is one of the great traits common to a lot of us ADHDer's too. I hope you like this podcast, it was really fun to record!
Every week, we will be having a chat about ADHD and creative thinking and the impact both have in the world of business and entrepreneurship. We encourage an environment in which to explore ideas and celebrate differences. We will interview lots of interesting people from all walks of life and share our own special take on ADHD.
If you want to get in touch with us or have any feedback, or even if you want to feature in a future episode, feel free to send an email to hello@adhdmeetsbusiness.com. Don't forget to leave a 5* review, because as ADHDers more dopamine is always welcome :)
