In a competitive job market, finding the right talent out of hundreds of applicants isn’t just about ticking boxes on a CV. It’s about spotting the “X-factor”, the mindset, adaptability, and resilience that allow a team to thrive when the stakes are high and the future is uncertain.

Join Employment Hero and The Blues for the second webinar in The High Performance Series. Hosted by Natalie Hatchard, Talent Acquisition Manager at Employment Hero featuring Alex O’Dowd, Head of Performance Development at the Blues, we’ll explore the high-performance scouting lens of how The Blues bridge the gap between spotting raw potential and building a championship-ready team.

In attending, you’ll get to see behind closed doors, and uncover:

• Potential vs. Proven Experience: Should business leaders think beyond CVs to mindset, adaptability, and long-term fit?
• The Blueprint for Growth: The direct impact of strategic hiring on your company’s culture, performance, and bottom line.
• Leading Through the Lean Times: Practical ways to maintain momentum and build a winning workforce even when resources are tight or the landscape is shifting.
• Building Future-Ready Squads: How to identify the “hidden gems” who will help your organisation scale and adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.

Employment Hero partners with The Blues as we believe in investing in high performance teams bringing elite performance insights directly to the business arena – bridging the gap between what the world’s best teams do on the field and what leaders need to do inside their organisations. This webinar is perfect for New Zealand business owners, HR professionals, and people leaders who are ready to stop just “hiring” and start building their A-team.
