Most organizations are hiring on instinct, under pressure, and with approaches built for a version of their business that no longer exists. The result is a cycle of poor fits, missed potential, and costs that compound in ways that are hard to see until the damage is already done.
Corey Harlock, founder of KeyHire Solutions, has spent more than a decade helping businesses break that cycle. In this conversation, Corey shares why hiring is a discipline rather than an instinct, what leading with transparency does for fit and retention, and how to start hiring for the business you’re building, not just for the one you’re running today.
