Many aspects of how companies hire talent have been set in stone and unquestioned for decades. Even if Talent Acquisition wants to drive change, the power of accepted wisdom among hiring managers and the C-Suite is difficult to challenge. So what happens when the CEO of a business champions a completely different way of doing things?
My guest this week is Jeff Dewing, Group CEO at Cloudfm. Jeff's story is amazing, and his approach to business is encapsulated in the title of his book, "Doing The Opposite." When it comes to hiring, Jeff has challenged conventional wisdom around interviews and skills head-on with some spectacular results. I loved this conversation, and it is an absolute must-listen for everyone.
In the interview, we discuss:
Jeff's rollercoaster journey to get where he is today
Where everyone needs autonomy, mastery, and purpose
Why Cloudfm no longer use interviews in their hiring process and what they do instead of
Removing the risk in hiring
Achieving a 95% recruitment retention rate
Individual career plans and ups killing
Giving people autonomy about how and where they work.
The office as a creative, problem-solving collaboration space
The impact AI will have on the future.
