Do it Right or Do it Over When it Comes to Hiring: Human Resource Business Tips and Strategy

Hire in haste… repent at your leisure.

The people you hire will either solve business problems—or create them.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I speak with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and author of Uplevel: Sprint Your Way to the Next Level in Your Life and Business, about one of the most costly mistakes in business: rushing the hiring process.

From toxic culture to turnover, the ripple effect of a bad hire can stall growth, kill morale, and drain your resources. If you’re serious about building a recession-proof company, hiring right the first time isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Theresa and I also dive into leadership, business resilience, people systems, and what companies need to thrive in uncertain times.

Key Takeaways
✅ Bad hires don’t just cost money—they cost momentum
✅ Companies that “churn and burn” through talent create culture problems
✅ Strategic hiring is your first defense against recession risks
✅ Leadership starts with who you allow through the front door
✅ A strong company culture is built one smart hire at a time

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
