Hiring decisions don’t improve by removing judgment — they improve when leaders understand how to apply it more responsibly. On this episode of The People Playbook with Coach Cora, Coach Cora is joined by Amy Leslie, CEO of Perspective Inc., to explore how leaders can use data-driven hiring tools without losing the human insight that makes good decisions possible.
Drawing from her work with organizations implementing assessments and selection tools, Amy shares where leaders often misunderstand what hiring data is meant to do, how tools can clarify fit rather than create certainty, and why role definition and context matter more than the tool itself.
If you’re a business owner, executive, or people leader trying to hire more confidently without outsourcing judgment to a tool, this episode will help you make smarter, more accountable hiring decisions right now.
