Send us a Text Message.

What if you could revolutionize your hiring process to find the best talent for your company, leaving no stone unturned? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Ric Girard, founder and CEO of Stride Search Inc. and author of Healing Career Wounds, as we explore his fascinating journey from aspiring photographer to recruiting expert. Discover how an episode of Seinfeld inspired Rick to do the opposite of what everyone else was doing and ultimately led him to transform the way we approach hiring.

Together, we dive into the importance of creating an interview process centered around core values, allowing companies to identify the best candidates. Ric shares his expertise on utilizing behavioral interviewing to assess whether a candidate aligns with a company's values, and how asking the right questions can remove personality from the equation. Learn how to uncover hidden gems by digging beneath the surface and getting to the core of who each candidate truly is. 

Finally, we discuss how entrepreneurs can better understand and set core values, along with the innovative software platform, Intertru, which brings AI assistance to the interview process. Ric also gives us a sneak peek into his plans for the next six months and upcoming book. Don't miss this insightful conversation on how to build the right team without relying on subjective criteria. Plus, find out how to connect with Ric and tune into his podcast, Hire Power Radio, featuring entrepreneurs sharing their own hiring experiences. So, are you ready to elevate your hiring game?

About the Podcast

Becoming Bridge Builders
Biblical Common Sense for a Divided World
Becoming Bridge Builders is a faith-centered podcast hosted by Rev. Dr. Keith Haney, created for believers who sense God’s call to lead with wisdom, courage, and compassion in a deeply divided world. In an age of cultural confusion, outrage, and fractured relationships, this podcast exists to replace societal absurdity with biblical common sense and Christ-centered clarity.
Each episode explores how God is raising up modern-day bridge builders—men and women equipped to stand firm in truth while extending grace, listening well, and leading with conviction. Through biblical teaching, cultural commentary, and practical application, Becoming Bridge Builders offers fearless yet thoughtful guidance for navigating today’s toughest issues without sacrificing faith or integrity.
Listeners will be encouraged and equipped with:
Scripture-rooted wisdom for understanding today’s cultural challenges
Practical strategies for bridging divides in families, churches, workplaces, and communities
Faith-filled leadership principles that move beyond talk into action
Bold encouragement to live out your calling with humility, courage, and purpose
Whether you are a Christian leader, a concerned believer, or someone longing for truth and unity in a broken world, Becoming Bridge Builders will challenge you to rise above fear, reject cultural chaos, and become an agent of reconciliation and transformation—right where God has placed you.
This is more than a podcast.
It’s a call to become the bridge.
