The Badlands - Gregor Young

In this week's instalment of ⁠ The Badlands⁠ I’m talking with Gregor Young, Gregor is highly experienced strategic digital product leader and most recently a CEO, with an impressive career at some of the UK’s biggest Brands, including BT the FT and Channel 4.

In this episode Gregor and I discuss the shift in recruitment dynamics favouring specialists over generalists, and the importance of adapting one's approach to job applications. We delve into the complexities of senior hiring practices, the challenges of assessing soft skills, and the importance of networking in job searching. We go deep on the disconnect between what senior leaders seek in candidates and how those requirements are often lost in translation through recruitment processes. Ultimately agreeing on the need for nurturing professional relationships to navigate this crazy job market successfully.

We hope you enjoy, please share it with anyone you know that is currently in The Badlands or anyone in need of a highly experienced strategic digital product leader.
