145. Hiring, Compliance, and Phishing Scams: BTS at People Principles

Today's episode is a rollercoaster of topics that will leave you both informed and entertained. We kick things off with a discussion about the world of hiring strategies and candidate assessment. We dive deep into the importance of evaluating candidates based on their strengths, weaknesses, and the skills required for the job.

In the realm of HR best practices and legal compliance, I share an intriguing story about helping a business leader handle a difficult termination call. We'll talk about the importance of establishing at-will employment relationships through employment agreements and keeping those contracts up to date with current laws and best practices.

Our episode takes an unexpected turn as we delve into the world of phishing scams and email security. Molly shares a nail-biting story about almost falling for a phishing scam. And just when you thought you'd heard it all, I'll shock you with a story of an incredibly elaborate phishing scam that almost fooled even the CEO and CFO of a company!

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
