About this listen
Recruiting used to be about finding great talent. Now it feels like applying for a mortgage, joining a secret society, and surviving a reality show — all at once.
In Episode 1 of Hero to Zero, host Ken Pearson is joined by Dean Trimble (Managing Director at Jackson Stevens Global) to unpack why the modern hiring is so frustrating — and what to do about it.
From job descriptions that read like horoscopes to interview loops that never end, this episode is both a reality check and a roadmap. Plus: a powerful closing story from listener Sean Gibbons about walking away from an opportunity — and choosing empathy over explanation.
🎯 Real stories. Real red flags. And no, pizza parties don’t replace performance bonuses.
