The Rose Coloured Recruitment Challenge 💪

How does a seemingly ideal candidate, great role and a good employer come together, to then, turn into the worst hiring decision for everyone?

This is a conversation to highlight awareness around your recruiting behaviours and tendencies. If you’ve felt like you’ve recruited the right person and it goes pear shaped for no seemingly obvious reason, it could be that you both had rose coloured glasses on!

Joannah Bernard gives us something to think about and be aware of when you are recruiting or if you are a candidate looking for a new opportunity.

In this weeks episode of The Business Talking Blondes Podcast Joannah Bernard chats with Ashton Wood Consumer Advocate the founder of DV Safe Phone

A fantastic initiative that ensures that those in need have access to a mobile phone.

Unfortunately Domestic Violence has increased this year.

One of the first items to be broken or taken is the humble mobile phone, but this is often the ONLY way victims can reach out for help!

DV Safe Phone has pulled a team together to ensure your old phone is erased, tested and given to someone in desperate need right now.

If you wanted to do something to help others at this time, it's now as simple as checking those cupboards and draws for your old mobile phone and drop it into King IT at the Sunshine Coast at Sunshine Coast Plaza Maroochydore, Stockland Caloundra or Stockland Birtinya stores.

They will ensure the phone has been erased properly, tested and distributed to a victim of domestic violence... and you might have just saved a life!

There is no charge for this service.

You can reach out to Ashton - [email protected]
