What happens when someone who scaled technical hiring at Google starts rethinking what good leadership looks like in private equity? In this episode of Chat CFO, Jenny Collins, Head of Talent at Faraday Partners and former Google and PE Chief Talent Officer, shares her take on what great hiring really looks like.

We get into: Why cognitive diversity at the top table is more than a tick box What Google taught her about building teams that last Why AI isn't replacing recruitment but making the human parts more important How private equity can borrow from venture and vice versa The real value of referencing, psychometrics, and behavioural data in hiring If you're shaping teams in high-growth or high-pressure environments, or you're just curious how someone blends empathy, rigour and data into HR at the sharpest end of business, this one’s for you.
