Thanks so much to Nick Daws for the opportunity, I cannot wait to help such a brilliant, forward thinking club

I will to continue to work on the @GBEExpertHub as well

@_korg_ @GM1872_ Their peers, the people who actually play the game professionally have decided they are.

@ScotRail 12.11, not 8.11. wow. It's been a long day

[Ian Prentice @IanKPrentice]

@ScotRail Think the problems are still going on. A train just went through at 8.11 and stopped about 300m down the line. Not sure if the driver forgot to stop or if there are other problems

[Ian Prentice @IanKPrentice]

@SteelmenNews Surely a 4 match ban? No?

@GLA_Airport Not being ripped off for dropping off/picking people up from the airport!!

[Iain Brown @iainbroon90]

All the empty seats at Parkhead with so many Motherwell fans not able to get a ticket to the small allocation? Surely selling the extra tickets to Motherwell fans is better for Scottish football?

That’s how the tweets meant to go eh?

@OneFootball Just stop the clock

@brz_1872 Are Rangers still in it?
Are Celtic still in it?

If they are, and If Celtic win tomorrow and we win our game in hand v Dundee, then we go above Rangers on goal difference.

If Rangers win and we beat Dundee, then we are only 1 point behind Celtic.

Is it such a stretch?

[Ian Prentice @IanKPrentice]

@GMillar1874 @SPFLWatch But not zero.... I'll take that.

[Ian Prentice @IanKPrentice]

@WeAreSTV get those adverts in the middle of rugby games so far to.....

Really no need. You are spoiling the games.

@kennyjamieson The match isn't off in Motherwell, it's off in Dundee

The candidate stopped mid-interview. "Can I ask you something?"

HR nodded.

"This is my 7th interview this month," she said.
"And you're the 7th person to ask about my biggest weakness."

HR shifted in his chair.

"I've prepared for everything.
Technical assessments.
Behavioral questions.
Case studies.
Culture fit."

She opened her notebook.

Pages of research.
Company values highlighted.
Recent news articles printed out.

"But you haven't asked me a single question about how I'd actually do this job."

Silence.

"Where do I see myself in five years?" she continued.
"I see myself solving the problems you're hiring me to solve.
But we haven't talked about those problems yet."

HR replied.
"These are standard questions to assess..."

"To assess what?" she gently interrupted.
"Whether I can recite the same answers everyone else memorized from career blogs?"

She wasn't angry. Just tired.

"You have a 30% turnover problem in customer success"

"Three competitors just poached your best people."

HR's eyes widened.

"I know because I researched.
I prepared."

She closed her notebook.

"I need this job. I really do.
My savings run out next month.
But I need you to need someone who can solve problems.
Not someone who performs well in interviews."

Long pause.

"So, what would you like to know about how I'd fix your retention crisis?"

HR pushed aside his question sheet.
"Tell me everything."

They talked for one hour.
Real problems. Real solutions.
No script.

Go the offer.
She started three weeks later.

Within six months:
Turnover down to 8%.
Two competitors tried to poach her.

She stayed.

Because they finally asked the right questions.
And she'd been waiting 7 interviews
to give the right answers.

Cookie-cutter questions get cookie-cutter candidates.

The exceptional ones?
They're interviewing you right back.

And if you're not ready for that conversation,
you're not ready for exceptional talent.

Our UK and Bulgaria colleagues came together in Sofia this week for a really productive and fun couple of days! 🇧🇬

It’s been fantastic to spend time in person as one team, sharing our vision, strengthening our connections, and seeing our values in action.
