Everyone loves to talk about “meritocracy” in hiring—but what if that’s just a shiny myth masking bias, access, and systemic privilege? In this episode of Talentless, we dig into the uncomfortable truth behind the idea of “earning it.”

Featuring real-world examples, messy truths, and a few “I can’t believe they did that” stories from the field, this episode challenges listeners to rethink everything they thought they knew about fairness in hiring.

Join us as we break down the realities of what "merit" brings in the corporate sector.
