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.

Trash the CV: 90 Seconds Beats 10 Years (Miovision) - (S2E5)
What if your best hire lists 4 years on paper, but delivers 8 years of outcomes?
Miovision’s Global Talent Acquisition Manager Justin Krulicki, breaks down why tenure and industry bias are quietly derailing your hiring process, and how a 90-second video intro can beat a CV before you even read it.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why “years served” is a weak signal, and what better metrics to use
- How to cleanly structure interviews into Technical ▪ People ▪ Values (without overlapping)
- Why we asked for 90-second intros in one real req: 5,000 resumes. Zero portfolios. Three videos. Only the videos got callbacks
- How well-trained interviewers (not repeating the same question six times) prevent groupthink
- What a “no-CV” future could feel like, and how AI might soon rank those intros before you open a resume
