About this podcast

Most hiring advice is vague. This show is not. Lucas and Luna examine the actual mechanics of talent acquisition and workforce reduction: how to structure a behavioral interview, how to evaluate a candidate's long-term potential beyond the résumé, and how to manage a layoff with dignity and legal safety. They walk through real corporate cases — from Google's Project Oxygen to Amazon's 'Pivot' performance-improvement plans — and dissect the numbers behind hiring yields, employee churn, and the cost of a bad hire. Each episode focuses on a single decision point: writing a job description that attracts the right applicants, reading between the lines of a reference check, or deciding when to cut someone loose versus invest in coaching. Luna brings the HR-operations perspective (recruiting budgets, compliance risks, onboarding metrics), while Lucas challenges assumptions with economic data (labor-market tightness, wage-growth trends, productivity correlations). The listener here is a team lead, a founder, an HR professional, or anyone who has to hire or fire people and wants to do it with less guesswork. Expect no fluff — just the numbers, the cases, and the honest trade-offs. What does it actually cost to make a bad hire — and what would you pay to avoid it?
