Micro Interview with Dan Rosehill

Micro Interview from our Micro lesson series with Dan Rosehill, Talent Acquisition Partner, HSO

Meet
Dan Rosehill
Talent Acquisition Partner

Enthusiasm doesn’t replace experience. Being optimistic is good, but check it with data and dialogue.

Dan Rosehill, a qualified barrister turned Talent Acquisition Partner and Employer Branding specialist, with a side passion as a professional drummer. Dan works in the recruitment team at HSO, a global Microsoft partner focused on Dynamics 365, Data & AI, and Power Platform.

His role is all about connecting great people with meaningful careers while shaping how we present HSO to the world. He works closely with leadership teams to build high-performing, future-ready teams and ensure we stand out in a competitive tech market.

Dan says, HSO is on an exciting journey as we evolve from a business apps specialist into a true cloud and data powerhouse. It’s a brilliant time to get involved, and I’m always open to conversations with people who want to be part of that growth.

What’s your work routine?

It's a daily mix of firefighting and forecasting, answering the now, while planning for the next wave of roles that haven’t even been scoped yet.

What’s one misconception about technology projects you’ve come across?

That good tech alone guarantees success. Without the right talent to implement, adapt, and run it, even the best platforms fall short.

What metrics matter most in a tech project?

Quality of hire and time-to-value. It's not just about how fast you fill a role, but how fast that person contributes meaningfully.

Something you wish you’d known about your work when you first started?

That roles evolve faster than job descriptions do. Stay close to the teams because the real needs are often unspoken.

What did your biggest professional failure teach you?

That enthusiasm doesn’t replace experience. Being optimistic is good, but check it with data and dialogue.

The #1 thing that helps organisations get value from their technology projects?

Investing in change management early. Technology can only deliver value if people understand it, adopt it, and embed it into their daily work.

Your parting piece of advice?

Think long-term in every hire. Today’s delivery lead could be tomorrow’s strategy owner so always hire with growth in mind.
