Replacing a team member is one thing. Appointing a Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer is something entirely different.

You don’t always see the damage straight away, but it adds up fast and it can drag your business sideways for months. That’s why getting hiring right first time really matters.
