Hiring someone is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a manager, but how do you actually know who’s going to be great once they’re in the role?

In this episode, Heather breaks down the interview process she uses to hire brilliant people, from attracting stronger candidates to making the final decision with confidence.

She covers:

• The interview questions that help you spot great candidates
• What to look for beyond skills, experience and a polished CV
• How to structure an interview process that actually works
• How to score candidates and make more confident hiring decisions
• How to reduce bias and avoid relying too heavily on “gut instinct”

If you’re hiring someone soon, growing your team or want to get much better at recognising great people in interviews, this episode gives you a practical process you can actually use.
