#445 Perspectives in Recruiting and Leadership – Why Many Organisations Fail at Their Own Viewpoint | Niels Brabandt
The Leadership Podcast by Niels Brabandt / NB Networks
Release Date: 10/15/2025
Recruiting today rarely fails because of a lack of candidates — it fails because of a lack of perspective.
In this episode, Niels Brabandt, Founder and Owner of NB Networks (Zurich | London), examines why so many organisations struggle to attract, select, and lead the right people — and how unexamined biases, poor communication, and outdated thinking undermine both recruitment and leadership.
Drawing on current global cases — from the EEOC lawsuit against Delta Air Lines to allegations of discrimination involving Workday’s AI recruiting system — Brabandt analyses where employers and candidates alike go wrong, and what effective, sustainable leadership must look like in today’s environment.
Key insights include:
-
Why “ghosting” applicants is a symptom of organisational failure.
-
How AI can both help and harm your recruitment process.
-
Where candidates misuse technology and legal frameworks — and how employers should respond.
-
Why perspective, empathy, and professionalism are now decisive competitive factors.
This episode is aimed at executives, HR leaders, and decision-makers who want to strengthen leadership performance, ensure compliance, and build cultures that attract top talent.
Learn how to:
-
Lead with awareness rather than assumption.
-
Implement professional, ethical, and legally sound recruiting practices.
-
Turn cultural understanding into measurable organisational advantage.
