Most leaders think they know how to make a good hire.

They trust their instincts. They believe their experience helps them spot the right candidate.

But what if that confidence is misplaced?

What if they’re unknowingly repeating the same hiring mistakes—costing their companies millions?

In this episode of The School of Hiring, I’m joined by Tim Freestone, founder of Alooba and host of the Objective Hiring podcast. Tim has spent years studying why hiring fails, and how companies can fix it with data-driven, validated insights.

We break down:

Why most hiring decisions are built on false confidence
The biggest hiring mistakes companies don’t even realize they’re making
Why intuition and experience aren’t enough to judge candidates
How data-driven hiring improves accuracy without losing the human element
Why companies that don’t fix hiring set themselves up for failure
This is not just about hiring. It’s about breaking free from flawed decision-making and learning how to build truly great teams.

How hiring will evolve in the next decade
What today’s hiring managers need to change
Tim’s one piece of advice for leaders who want to master hiring
