Hiring isn’t about convincing candidates to say yes — it’s about demonstrating that your leadership is worth committing to. On this episode of The People Playbook with Coach Cora, Coach Cora is joined by Katy Barger, Senior Technical Recruiter at Beacon Hill Recruiting, to explore what candidates are really saying.
Katy shares how top talent is evaluating roles through the lens of flexibility, salary transparency, and values alignment, and why outdated job descriptions and rushed decisions quietly undermine hiring success.
If you’re a small business owner, executive, or people leader who wants to attract capable talent — and keep them — this episode will help you rethink how your hiring process speaks before you ever make an offer.
