What Delegates Say

“We'd been hiring on gut feel for years. The competency-based interview framework has completely transformed our hit rate.”

— Workshop Delegate • Sales Director

“The cost-of-a-bad-hire exercise was sobering. We calculated we'd wasted over £150K on failed sales hires in the last two years.”

— Workshop Delegate • HR Business Partner

“The onboarding accelerator plan we built in the workshop cut our new starter ramp-up time from 6 months to 3.”

— Workshop Delegate • Regional Sales Manager

“Understanding what actually predicts sales success versus what just looks good in an interview was the key takeaway. Brilliant workshop.”

— Workshop Delegate • Talent Acquisition Lead
