Lou Adler has been shaking up the recruitment industry for over 40 years (though don’t remind him of that).
Lou saw that the way companies traditionally hired people was broken and created the Performance-Based Hiring model. He even wrote a bestselling book about it - “Hire With Your Head: Using Performance-Based Hiring to Build Outstanding Diverse Teams”.
His company, The Adler Group, has trained 40k managers and placed 1.5k execs for top companies like Disney and Paycom and is currently running a course on how to use Chat GPT for recruiting.
On LinkedIn, Lou has nearly 1.4 million followers - so naturally I wanted to talk to him to find out all his secrets.
In Episode 48 we talk about why hiring is broken, skills of successful recruiters, how to hire your core C-suite team as a founder, what is culture fit and how to use Chat GPT for hiring.
