Episode Details

Hiring great people sounds simple — until it isn’t. 

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why a new hire didn’t work out, you’re not alone. From rushing the process to writing generic job ads, most hiring mistakes come down to one key issue: a lack of clarity. 

In this episode, Karen Kirton shares the nine most common hiring mistakes that cost businesses time, money, and team morale — and, more importantly, how to avoid them. 

You’ll learn: 
✅ Why clarity before hiring is the key to recruiting the right person 
✅ How to write job ads that attract the right candidates (not everyone) 
✅ Why speed doesn’t equal success in recruitment 
✅ The importance of onboarding ownership and new-hire feedback 
✅ How connection and structure lead to long-term retention 

Whether you’re hiring your first employee or building a growing team, this episode will help you create a smoother, more strategic process that sets new hires, and your business, up for success.
