Kathrin has led talent acquisition through hypergrowth across different organisations, scaling from early market entry to complex international expansion.
And if there’s one thing she’s learned:
👉 Scaling hiring is hard.
👉 Upholding quality while scaling is even harder.
In this episode of Tea Time with Talent Acquisition, we unpack what it means to “hit the gas pedal” but with the right checks and balances in place.
In this episode, we cover:
🔵 Why structured hiring is non-negotiable (and what “brilliant basics” actually look like)
🔵 How to scale across countries without lowering the hiring bar
🔵 Bar raisers, hiring committees, and when they help vs. slow you down
🔵 Business enablement: why training, education, and empowerment determine adoption
🔵 Why hiring should be treated as a strategic investment, not a “bums on seats” exercise
🔵 The future of TA: moving from delivery engine to strategic talent advisory
Kathrin shares practical frameworks for workforce planning, influencing executive stakeholders, articulating ROI, and embedding hiring philosophy across a global organisation.
This is a must-listen for Talent Leaders, Founding Recruiters, and People Teams navigating scale, international expansion, or the shift from hypergrowth to lean, high-impact teams.
If you care about quality of hire, talent density, and long-term business value this one is packed with insight.
