Shocking hypocrisy in Donald Trump's recruitment rules

Donald Trump isn’t renowned for his self-awareness nor his stringent recruitment processes.

In fact, his recruitment and staff retention rates are so questionable that during his first year as US President his White House, 35% of his top staff left – a statistics that would make earnest recruiters and resourcers shudders.

Hypothetically, if a search firm was involved in the recruitment of these staff, the client would be ringing you up to let your services go – or, at the very least, question the value you’re adding.

It’s also obvious that Trump favours his family when it comes to giving out top jobs. Rather than employing advisors with intimate experience of Government he has given coveted remits to his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. His sons also manage his business.
