Your practical guide to hiring with clarity and conviction
Pegs That Fit begins with a bold but simple idea: a wrong hire is not always a bad person; it’s often a lack of clarity.
With this book, Esther challenges the casual and often time rushed approach many organisations take toward recruitment. She reframes hiring not as an administrative task to fill an empty seat, but as one of the most strategic decisions a leader will ever make.
This shift in perspective matters, because hiring mistakes are rarely loud at the beginning. They show up quietly; in performance and in morale, and over time, they cost far more than a salary.
And so, if you are building a team, protecting a culture, or scaling a vision, this book will help you ask better questions before you make your next decision.
Not just theory dressed up as advice, Pegs That Fit is a clear, tested framework designed to help leaders hire with intention rather than instinct.
Because when the right peg is placed in the right role, everything works better.
This book is your guide to…
- Identify and fix the hidden gaps in your hiring process
- Define what “fit” truly means for your organisation
- Build a recruitment philosophy grounded in values and results
- Ask better questions that uncover character, not just competence
- Know when (and how) to let go of the wrong hire gracefully
- Create a repeatable system for hiring that scales as you grow

Because when the right people find the right place, everything fits — and your organisation flourishes.
