Identifying transferable skills in candidates is an essential skill for recruiters in today’s workplace. Talent who have the relevant soft skills (or hard skills as I refer to them) are in short supply.

When you meet someone who claims to be strategic, driven and focussed, it sounds too good to be true. Then they evidence it by claiming to be in the top 1% of marathon finishers and using the same strategy whilst wearing brogues that they do in their Nikes.

You might worry that they’re looking for an easy, repetitive experience at work that reflects their Sunday morning training run, but not this guy! He loves to sail the high seas, the rougher the better, and he has the same approach in his oilskins as he does his suit jacket.

He is as fanatical about the Financial Services industry as he is about his leisure pursuits.

That person is this week’s guest, Garry Harrison, Chief Executive Officer at OARO.

In this episode, we talk about why diversity is key to the success of our teams, how happiness can increase productivity and fulfilment, how NFTs play into seamless, ticketless travel and how technology can help us fight climate change.

We hope you enjoy this episode of The Disruptive Mindset Podcast!
