#29 - Building Around Your Culture - Debbie Penn & Chris Havens

In this episode of The Recruitment Reality Podcast, I speak with Debbie Penn and Chris Havens about hiring at a huge scale across multiple state locations. 

Debbie and Chris share their experience of running a huge-scale recruitment function with only 3 dedicated recruiters! This is something I've always been fascinated and surprised about. How do large, disparate organisations manage recruitment with only 3 people? 

The answer, introduce a framework built on a culture that allows for individual adaptation! If that doesn't make sense, then this is a great episode to listen to. Debbie shares her years of experience within the Watermark Communities team, and how their CEO has managed to give freedom, whilst also creating a sense of belonging. 

Listen to this episode to learn more about the importance of culture when building your recruitment function...
