The Bad Hire
A live conversation on how to hire fast - and fire even faster
Once your consulting firm is past the “five friends” stage, every hire matters. One great hire can transform the business overnight - and one wrong hire can kill it.
Materialize Founder Alex Nordlinger grew from a one-person shop to a 20-strong team - and learned the hard way how much a bad hire costs.
Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung has spent three decades in tech and consulting, and still makes hiring mistakes - but knows how to fix them without losing sleep.
Join Alex and Mark for a conversation on:
- Clean Exits
How to spot - and exit - a bad hire fast, before they trash team morale, client trust, or the next six weeks of your life.
- The danger of “just OK” hires
Why an average performer is often more damaging than a terrible one - and how to spot them early.
- Spotting bad hire - before you hire ‘em
Practical ways to pressure-test a new hire before you offer them the job.
- Hiring from your own bench
Why your next best hire might already be on the payroll - and how to spot and stretch them.
- Building a talent pipeline
Shortcuts for building a rolodex of future hires now, so when the work hits you’ve already done your due-diligence.
