Welcome to Looks Good on Paper! The podcast that's flipping the script on traditional hiring. Join hosts Anita Chauhan and Andrew "Woody" Wood as we explore, prod, and encourage a deeper look into current hiring practices (and learn from the greats along the way!).

In this introductory episode, we set the stage for the podcast's mission by discussing why CVs—dating back to 1483—and the so-called "perfect candidate" can be misleading. We break down three core issues with traditional CV-focused hiring: they're inherently inaccurate (with 75% of people embellishing their experience), they're subject to significant observer bias, and they're increasingly being generated by AI.

Throughout this series, we'll be speaking with industry experts to uncover how skills, potential, real-world experience, and adaptability should be the focus when making hiring decisions. Our goal isn't to eliminate CVs entirely, but to help organizations move away from outdated hiring models toward a more holistic approach to recruitment that identifies the whole person behind that piece of paper.

Tune in twice monthly for concise, actionable conversations that will help you challenge the norm and rewrite the rules of hiring.
