Looks Good on Paper
Looks Good on Paper flips hiring on its head. Hosted by Andrew Wood and Anita Chauhan, we dive into why CVs and "perfect fits" are overrated. Through fun, insightful conversations with industry experts, we explore how skills, potential, and real experience should be the focus of hiring... not what looks good on paper.
Quick, candid, and packed with actionable insights, we’re here to rewrite the rules of hiring, one episode at a time.

#29 - Building Around Your Culture - Debbie Penn & Chris Havens
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Recruitment Reality Podcast, I speak with Debbie Penn and Chris Havens about hiring at a huge scale across multiple state locations.
Debbie and Chris share their experience of running a huge-scale recruitment function with only 3 dedicated recruiters! This is something I've always been fascinated and surprised about. How do large, disparate organisations manage recruitment with only 3 people?
The answer, introduce a framework built on a culture that allows for individual adaptation! If that doesn't make sense, then this is a great episode to listen to. Debbie shares her years of experience within the Watermark Communities team, and how their CEO has managed to give freedom, whilst also creating a sense of belonging.
Listen to this episode to learn more about the importance of culture when building your recruitment function...
