Episode description
Aaron Beider, Head of Talent Acquisition at Vertical Aerospace, recently sat down with Hope Milne, Manager at Annapurna, for a discussion on 'The Cost of Not: The Best Athlete'. 🧠🏋️♂️ Aaron shares why, in the fast-paced aerospace industry, finding exceptional talent and moving quickly when you do find it is non-negotiable. The 'Best Athlete' concept allows them to hire extraordinary individuals without the red tape, enabling them to compete against their competitors for the best talent, not just now, but in the future too. Some talent only comes to the market once, so having the policies and hiring structure in place to be able to move quickly and snap them up is essential because if you miss that opportunity, you may never get it again. This innovative approach to hiring drives home an important message for organisations who are looking to stay ahead of their industry; hire the best, whenever and wherever you find them. Aaron's conversation with Hope is full of transformative insights that he and Vertical Aerospace are implementing and others can learn from to remain/ establish themselves as industry leaders.
