About the Show
Talent Take Five
Conversations with leaders who are disrupting and challenging the status quo around how we hire, scale teams, and drive better business outcomes.
Talent Take Five is a video podcast where Andrew Sterling sits down with the leaders who are rethinking how companies attract, hire, and retain great people. These aren’t theoretical conversations — they’re with practitioners who are in the trenches every day, making decisions that shape organizations.
Guests include tech CEOs who’ve scaled teams from 10 to 500, venture capital and private equity partners who evaluate leadership talent as part of every deal, Heads of HR and Talent Acquisition building functions from scratch, and the innovators creating the tools and frameworks that are changing how hiring gets done.
The common thread? Every guest on the show is doing something different. They’re challenging conventional thinking about talent strategy, leadership development, employer branding, and organizational design — and getting real results.
Why This Show Exists
Andrew Sterling has spent over a decade in talent acquisition, working with companies across New England on their most critical hires. Through that work, he’s had a front-row seat to how the best leaders think about building teams — and how differently they approach it compared to everyone else.
Talent Take Five was built to share those conversations. The kind that usually happen over coffee or behind closed doors — where a CEO talks honestly about a hire that changed their trajectory, or a CHRO breaks down what actually worked in their first 90 days. Those stories deserve a bigger audience.
