Weekly hiring insights, recruitment lessons and real-world stories from 40+ years in recruitment, sales and leadership.
The 3C’s™ Real Life Hiring Lessons
Hiring people shouldn't feel like guesswork.
Over the past four decades, I've helped businesses hire everyone from frontline staff through to senior executives. Along the way, I've seen the good hires, the bad hires and the expensive mistakes that could have been avoided.
That's why I created The 3C's Real Life Hiring Lessons.
A weekly email where I share practical lessons, observations and real-world experiences from the recruitment trenches.
No fluff. No theory. Just lessons that can help you make better hiring decisions.
What You'll Receive
Each week you'll get a short, practical lesson covering topics such as:
• Common hiring mistakes and how to avoid them
• Culture fit versus capability
• Interview techniques that actually work
• Real recruitment stories and lessons learned
• Building stronger teams and leaders
• The warning signs employers often miss
• Better ways to attract and retain great people

Why Me?
Jo Collier
- Recruitment Expert
40 years of helping businesses hire better people.
I’ve spent over four decades in the business of people – recruitment, sales and leadership.
I’ve built teams, led turnarounds, driven growth, and helped shape the way recruitment operates across Australia.
I am also the creator of The Collier’s 3C’s™ Hiring System - a practical recruitment framework focused on capability, culture, and character to help businesses make stronger long-term hiring decisions.
As the first female CEO of Adecco Australia, I led one of the country’s largest recruitment companies through a decade of transformation – lifting profits by 220% in my first year and driving performance across thousands of people nationwide.
In 2015, I founded My People Group and not long after, My Exec – both businesses are built on the belief that great businesses start with great people – and that recruitment should be grounded in Capability, Culture and Character, and Future Alignment – not chance.
In 2024, I launched the Job Seeker Academy – giving people the confidence and clarity to own their careers in a changing world.
A year later, I launched My Sales Recruiter, designed to help organisations find high-performing sales talent - people who deliver outcomes, fit the culture, and move the business forward.
Because at the end of the day, it all comes back to one thing: results through people.
That’s what drives me.
