In this episode, we talk with Niamh Perreault, VP of Inside Sales at Invest Northern Ireland, about the work she is doing to promote partnerships and direct foreign investment. Her team is dispersed across North America, and she is responsible for hiring and leading the sales team. We discuss the challenges of attracting top talent to a mission driven organization, aligning job descriptions, and the importance of staff development, even when that means that some will move up and out of the company.

Unfocused and overly detailed job descriptions are a common feature of job boards. They say a lot without really saying much at all.
The result of these weak job descriptions is that many new hires feel that they interviewed for a different position than the one they actually got. This disconnect leads to a misalignment that can cause disruption and unnecessary drama on work teams.
Join Sean and Kaydi as they talk about tested strategies to build compelling descriptions for the roles you need to fill.

Decades of work in staffing have taught us one thing: the way that most companies are hiring is wrong. Too many companies are deeply invested in lengthy, cumbersome processes despite the fact that they are not getting the results that they need.
We believe that there is a better way.
Join us each week as we chat with leaders in a wide variety of industries to learn what works and what doesn't as we work to put humanity back in human resources.
