The talk

It takes three of the right people. Not thirty.

  1. 3

    months to a prototype.

    Not 30.

  2. 3

    people to interview.

    Not 30.

  3. 3

    hours to make a decision.

    Not 30 days.

  4. 3

    people on the phone.

    Not 30 CVs.

The model

The 6 Gates. People over paper.

The framework behind the talk. How it works, you get in the room.

What the room gets

Lines they'll repeat.

  1. 1

    “Throw your job spec in the bin.”

    Two specs, same job title. Which company is which? Nobody can tell.

  2. 2

    Why culture fit is bullsh!t

    And what to hire on instead.

  3. 3

    A process they can use on Monday

    Not sector specific. Anyone can take something from it.

  4. 4

    20 minutes

    Tight by design. Pair it with a workshop if the room wants to go deeper.
