Post by The Talent Inside Podcast

Episode 7 of The Talent Inside Podcast just dropped. 🎙️ Steve Chan joined me for a conversation that went places I wasn't expecting. Steve's lived both sides of recruitment. Started as an engineer at BMW. Moved into HR. Then spent 15 years helping startups and scaleups hire hundreds of people. But we didn't just talk about hiring. We talked about what happens when companies get it wrong: → Why redundancies are handled so badly (and the human cost) → How performance management became a tick-box exercise → Why good people leave after bad restructures → The reality of going from "made redundant" to "signing your next offer" Steve now runs Talent Journey, helping people navigate career transitions and companies handle change properly. One thing that stuck with me - he said most companies treat redundancy like ripping off a plaster. Quick and painful. But the people affected carry that experience forever. This is the last episode for 2025. Back in early 2026 after the UK trip. Listen on Spotify, Apple or YouTube. 🎧
