#445 Perspectives in Recruiting and Leadership – Why Many Organisations Fail at Their Own Viewpoint | Niels Brabandt

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struggle to attract, select, and lead the right people — and how unexamined biases, poor communication, and outdated thinking undermine both recruitment and leadership.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.
