Hiring Confessional

Ep. 31 Episode 16 - Better Interviews, Better Hires: Skilled Trades, Office Roles & Job Hunt Season (Audio)


Better hiring starts before the interview. In this solo episode of The Hiring Confessional, Michael Hayes, founder of Momentum Hiring Solutions, breaks down on-the-job interviews, how companies should prepare to interview candidates, and why hiring skilled trades workers requires a different approach than hiring office staff.

Plus, is there a job-hunting season? Michael discusses how timing can affect recruiting—and what employers can do to make the most of it. Practical insights to help companies interview smarter and hire with confidence.
