Looks Good on Paper
Looks Good on Paper flips hiring on its head. Hosted by Andrew Wood and Anita Chauhan, we dive into why CVs and "perfect fits" are overrated. Through fun, insightful conversations with industry experts, we explore how skills, potential, and real experience should be the focus of hiring... not what looks good on paper.
Quick, candid, and packed with actionable insights, we’re here to rewrite the rules of hiring, one episode at a time.
Looks Good on Paper
The 24-Hour Promise
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The average time to hire in 2026 is 44 days. Taylor Genre's team at Beemac Logistics gives every sales candidate a final answer within 24 hours.
Taylor is the Director of Recruiting and Marketing at Beemac Logistics, a multimodal transport and logistics provider based in Pittsburgh. She came into logistics recruiting from roles at ePeople, Healthcare, and ADP. In this episode, she breaks down why not paying people what they're worth is the most expensive hiring mistake companies keep making and how the cost compounds through turnover, onboarding, and lost trust. She names the bias hiding inside the word "overqualified" and how quickly it becomes ageism when you don't have the conversation. And she walks through exactly what had to change inside Beemac for the 24-Hour Promise to work: it wasn't the recruiting team that needed to shift, it was the hiring managers.

The average time to hire in 2026 has reached approximately 44 days, with 81% of hiring managers reporting decision-making paralysis when extending offers. Meanwhile, 61% of candidates accept the first offer they receive, meaning slow companies lose top candidates not to better offers but to faster ones. Organizations that have built alignment between recruiters and hiring managers on decision speed, salary transparency, and candidate communication are consistently outperforming on both offer acceptance and retention.
