Today's episode of Talent Talks is with Matthew Barrett, founder of Goal Click. Matthew discusses with host Dan Maisey his unique experiences on his journey from Hill & Knowlton to founding Goal Click.
We talk about his atypical career path, which includes roles in various companies within the WPP Group, and his insights on the evolving landscape of hiring within the sports, media, and entertainment industries.
Matthew explains the process behind Goal Click's innovative hiring model, which relies heavily on "permalancers" – freelancers with semi-permanent roles – and a remote, globally distributed team.
The conversation also touches on the themes of professional adaptability, the importance of diversity, and practical elements of recruitment such as the candidate application and interview process.
