Today, Britt is lifting the lid on exactly how Fayt hires new staff, from sifting through resumes to spotting red flags and making those all-important final decisions. Every business has their own way of doing things, but in an era where online applications are often filtered by AI, references can be faked, and friends pose as former bosses, how do you separate the standouts from the scammers? Britt’s breaking down her tried-and-tested hiring process, sharing the lessons she’s learned the hard way, and revealing what she actually looks for in a candidate.
