Listen "Darren Skinner: Podcast Interview with Nic Espanet"
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation, Darren Skinner, Talent Acquisition Business Partner at Easy Fiber, unpacks how his team supports rapid growth across multiple markets (Houston, TX; Albuquerque & Santa Fe, NM; Kent, WA—with a fourth market in the Midwest on the way). He explains how door-to-door sales sharpened his ability to connect with candidates, why “time kills all deals” in recruiting, and how longer, human pre-screens lead to better culture fits.
Darren also talks through lessons from the pandemic-era hiring swings, staying resilient amid mass TA layoffs, and setting goals you can actually measure. He closes with thoughts on side hustles, building family-centered passive income, and a peek at his animated YouTube project.
