Episode 16: Work Ethic Isn’t a Perk: Hiring Hunger, Building Careers (with Hope Brick, Founder of BRICK Executive Search)
Hope Brick has sat on every side of the table—fashion operator, VP, and now Founder of BRICK Executive Search placing leaders across luxury, fashion, and beauty.
In this episode, we talk about:
* The 3 hiring signals that never go out of style: hungry, coachable, personable
* Why “work–life balance” as a #1 priority can be a tell—and how to probe it without being a jerk
* Boundaries vs. burnout: on-days, off-days, and protecting your battery so you can win the week
* Remote vs. in-person for “textural” work (color, fabric, fittings) and how to make remote actually work
* Moving fast on elite candidates (and the ROI case for flexibility)
* Retention over transactions: how great hiring cascades through the whole org
Whether you’re scaling a sales team or hiring creative leaders, Hope brings candid, hard-won perspective on what great talent looks like—and how to keep them.
