Spray, Pray & Pay: Why Forcing Staffing Suppliers to Focus on Quality Changes Everything

Ever feel like your inbox is being carpet-bombed with resumes the second a role opens?

You’re not alone — and you’re not crazy.

In this episode, we unpack the truth behind the “Spray and Pray” supplier mindset — and why it’s killing candidate quality, wasting time, and silently bleeding your workforce program of value.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why high-volume resume slinging doesn’t mean better hiring
✅ The 3/3 Principle — a simple but powerful model to force supplier accountability
✅ How to roll it out (without causing supplier rebellion)
✅ What silent costs your program is already paying by tolerating the chaos
✅ What kind of leader you need to be if you want a truly high-performing contingent workforce

If you’re in HR, Procurement, or leading a PMO — this is your roadmap to demanding better.

It’s time to stop rewarding speed over suitability.

🎧 Listen in, rethink your model, and raise the bar.
