Stop Hiring the Wrong People

Hiring shouldn’t feel like a gamble - but for many business owners, it does.

In this episode, Nathan Rigney (The Profit Generator) sits down with Bill Corbett, Talent Acquisition Lead for Australia & New Zealand at Stanley Black & Decker, to break down what actually goes wrong in hiring - and how to fix it.

This is a straight-talking conversation about:

• Why most businesses hire backwards
• Recruitment vs talent acquisition (and why it matters)
• Hiring junior vs experienced staff - the real trade-offs
• Why reference checks often tell you nothing
• When paying a recruiter actually makes sense
• How to think about hiring as an investment, not a cost

If you’re a business owner planning to hire in 2026 - or you’re tired of bad hiring decisions - this episode will change how you think about building a team.
