GO TO EPISODEIn 2019, Noto Group founder Roy Notowitz launched the How I Hire podcast to fill a gap in content that he himself was searching for. “I was looking for this kind of content and I couldn’t find it,” says Roy. "Nobody was focused specifically on executive hiring or how to build top-performing leadership teams." This desire to explore the intricate world of hiring led to the creation of How I Hire, a podcast that goes behind the scenes of executive recruitment and leadership.
Each episode features insightful conversations with respected industry leaders, offering practical advice and real-world examples on crucial topics—from defining executive roles and assessing leadership capabilities to aligning hiring strategies with company values. How I Hire goes beyond tips and tactics; it dives deep into the experiences of top executives who’ve made smart, quick decisions that have driven growth and elevated businesses. Listeners gain valuable lessons from these leaders’ successes and setbacks, avoiding common pitfalls and staying ahead of industry trends.

His experience spans executive leadership, marketing, strategy, operations, product creation, finance, and more. Roy’s extensive background includes leading Generator Group, an executive search firm ranked among the nation’s fastest-growing companies, and working at Nike as a Recruiting and Staffing Manager during a period of explosive growth.
Named one of the Sporting Goods Business SGB 40 Under 40 award recipients, Roy is a recognized thought leader in the talent space. He has shared his expertise with organizations like the American Marketing Association and the Outdoor Industry Association on topics such as talent alignment and hiring trends.
