About Hiring & Firing with Fexingo: Recruitment, Performance, and Workforce Decisions
Most hiring advice is vague. This show is not. Lucas and Luna examine the actual mechanics of talent acquisition and workforce reduction: how to structure a behavioral interview, how to evaluate a candidate's long-term potential beyond the résumé, and how to manage a layoff with dignity and legal safety. They walk through real corporate cases — from Google's Project Oxygen to Amazon's 'Pivot' performance-improvement plans — and dissect the numbers behind hiring yields, employee churn, and the cost of a bad hire. Each episode focuses on a single decision point: writing a job description that attracts the right applicants, reading between the lines of a reference check, or deciding when to cut someone loose versus invest in coaching. Luna brings the HR-operations perspective (recruiting budgets, compliance risks, onboarding metrics), while Lucas challenges assumptions with economic data (labor-market tightness, wage-growth trends, productivity correlations). The listener here is a team lead, a founder, an HR professional, or anyone who has to hire or fire people and wants to do it with less guesswork. Expect no fluff — just the numbers, the cases, and the honest trade-offs. What does it actually cost to make a bad hire — and what would you pay to avoid it?

Why Your Best Hires Are Failing At Internal Mobility
Internal mobility is often touted as the silver bullet for retention and engagement, yet many companies see it stall or backfire. In this episode, we examine why structured internal transfers frequently fail to deliver promised ROI. We look at the friction points between talent acquisition teams and hiring managers, the hidden costs of retraining, and how misaligned incentives can turn a promising internal candidate into a turnover risk. By focusing on concrete data from recent workforce studies, we uncover the specific mechanisms that block career growth from within and what leaders must change to make lateral moves actually work.

Why Skills-Based Hiring Is Actually Hurting Companies
Companies are ditching degrees for skills-based hiring, promising a more meritocratic future. But by October 2026, the data suggests this shift is creating a new bottleneck: the verification crisis. We look at why removing credential filters without replacing them with robust assessment tools leads to higher turnover and worse team cohesion. This episode examines the hidden costs of vague skill claims, how leading firms like Unilever and IBM are structuring their assessments differently, and why the best hires often come from unexpected pathways that traditional HR systems can't easily capture.

The Counterproductive Cost of Strict Return to Office Policies
We are looking at the data from October 2026 regarding hybrid work mandates. Major firms like Salesforce and IBM have adjusted their policies, but many mid-sized companies are still clinging to rigid return-to-office rules. We explore why this strategy is failing to improve productivity while increasing turnover costs. The episode breaks down the hidden expenses of enforcing presence over output.
