Most hiring problems are caused by a lack of structure.
In engineering and manufacturing, the cost of a wrong hire is felt immediately — production slows, quality slips, and pressure builds across the team. But too many recruitment processes still rely on speed over structure:
— Roles agreed without clear outcomes
— Job adverts designed to attract applications, not the right people
— CVs shared early to show "progress"
— Roles agreed without clear outcomes
— Interviews based on gut feel rather than evidence
— Little evidence to support the final decision
