Khalilah "KO" Olokunola has an unconventional approach to hiring and retention that was forged during her time employing former gang members.

As chief people officer at a progressive brewery, she looked beyond the CV to recruit the "whole person"; valuing traits such as loyalty, problem solving and life experience – all essential in today's workplace.

In Do Recruit, Khalilah shares her tools and strategies for the first time. You will learn how to:

  • Rethink your "go to" hiring platforms
  • Discover the real person at interview
  • Invest time and resource in onboarding
  • Let people go with kindness
With practical advice, real-world scenarios and "back-pocket scripts", Do Recruit brings a refreshing and inclusive approach to the world of recruitment. It puts the "human" back into Human Resources.
