Are we hiring for comfort or for growth?

“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.” – Lewis Carroll

Every hiring decision is a balancing act. Between safety and vision. Between someone who fits the mold and someone who might just stretch the team in ways you didn’t expect.

In this episode of Instahyre Roundtable, we’re unpacking a question that rarely gets asked – but shapes every shortlist:
Are we hiring for comfort… or for growth?

Our speakers bring decades of experience, and with it, real stories of trade-offs, risks, and the hires that changed everything.
