Episode Overview

Hiring well is an age-old problem for founders – but what if there was an easier way to tackle this problem hurdle? Enter Joe Diubaldo, President and Founder of Clarity Recruitment!

Joe helps scaling companies make better hiring decisions and builds finance teams to fuel break-out growth. He has shaped finance and technology teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in Canada for more than 20 years.

Joe founded Clarity Recruitment in 2012 to transform the recruiting landscape and believes that the right hire can change the trajectory of a company, and change lives in the process. Earlier in his career, a candidate and friend described Joe as helping her “find clarity” through his career advice and coaching. The name stuck and Clarity Recruitment was born.

He has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, a Bachelor or Education from the University of Windsor and a Bachelor of Arts in History from McMaster University.

“Knowing what you don’t know will be your first step in understanding the talent you need to bring on.” 

In this week’s episode of the #StartupCanadaPodcast, sponsored by Mastercard, Joe discusses principles for good hiring, what to do with a “bad hire”, and how cognitive biases can damage our recruitment mission.
