Looks Good on Paper
Looks good on paper. But what's the real story?
Hiring is changing. The old rules are being challenged, AI is shaking things up, and knowing who to hire has never been more challenging.
Hosted by Anita Chauhan, Looks Good on Paper gets behind the hiring decisions that matter, with honest conversations featuring the people making them.
From global brands like Amazon, Booking.com and Shopify to founders and industry leaders challenging the status quo, we get into what actually works, what doesn't, and what they've learned along the way.
Expect bold opinions, awkward questions, real experiences and a few uncomfortable truths about how we find, judge and hire people.
No corporate scripts. No buzzwords. Just great conversations with people who have something worth saying.

Because there's always more to someone than what looks good on paper.
