After 5PM AMA: Hiring: Resume vs Culture | Episode 112

What makes someone a great hire—and what happens when the person who looks perfect on paper isn’t the right fit for the team?

On this After Five episode of Above the Legal Limit, host Justin Chopin and law partner Phil Lorio have an honest conversation about hiring, workplace culture, leadership, and the lessons that can come from a hiring mistake.

In this episode, Justin and Phil discuss:

– Why a strong résumé and interview don’t always predict a good fit

– Justin’s “50/50” view of hiring

– Why pay isn’t the only factor that motivates people

– The importance of strong, trusted team leaders

– Justin’s approach to hiring people who bring strengths beyond his own

– A hiring mistake from 2023 that left a lasting impression

– A first taste of Aberlour 18, because it’s After Five

If you’ve ever hired someone who seemed like the perfect fit but didn’t work out, this conversation is for you.
