Don’t Hire Until You Hear This: Architect Hiring Secrets Revealed | EP637

Business of Architecture Podcast

Hiring in architecture is high-stakes. Get it wrong, and you end up with missed deadlines, confused roles, office drama—or worse, talented people who simply can’t work together. This episode dives into the quiet costs of hiring missteps and how to avoid them.

Hiring the wrong person can silently break a thriving firm. In this episode, Enoch Sears and Rion Willard unpack a new way to think about identifying top talent. Not the typical “rock star” you might imagine—but something deeper, more strategic.

They explore where most architecture firms go wrong in their hiring process. You'll hear surprising reasons why even skilled professionals can hurt your team. And they share how small shifts in approach can unlock major gains in performance and harmony.

You’ll also hear the behind-the-scenes story of how they tested for something you’d never find on a résumé—and how one hire changed everything.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• The silent trap most firms fall into when someone “looks great on paper”
• A little-known interview twist that reveals what really drives someone
• Why hiring without this one thing can drain profits and morale—fast
