🔮 What advice Jon had for future HR leaders:

“We've always believed that reducing bias helps make better decisions. Fair hiring and great hiring go hand in hand. By reducing bias and focusing on a structured process, you not only make fairer decisions but also hire better talent."

"When organizations realize that hiring isn’t just an administrative task but a strategic function, they approach it differently. Building a structured hiring process not only makes hiring more efficient but also helps you consistently hire the best people, which becomes a competitive advantage."
