Act Like a Start-up Podcast Series

In this episode, we’re talking talent with Tom McKay who is the co-founder and managing director of Livewire. If that name rings a bell for you, then it might be because Livewire was recently named in the AFR’s Fast 100, which recognises Australia’s fastest growing companies.

In this episode Tom reflects on the rapid rise of Livewire, and what it’s taught him about hiring and retaining the best talent, how Tom approaches talent selection and, in particular, how he identifies candidates with the potential to grow alongside his business and how to develop a resilient workforce that can thrive during change or when unexpected things happen.
