HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:06:54] "If you really get clear on why you are hiring this person, why you are funding this person, and then you make the time to make sure you are sourcing from many markets, everything else is so much easier down the road."
[00:10:08] "It's all about the people that I recruit that's going to define my career and how well I do in this job."
[00:16:45] "You have to figure out the DNA of who you're hiring and then say, where do they socialize? And then you get to those places."
[00:19:59] "If you put the onus on the leader, you are ensuring that they are invested in the success of the new hire from day one."
[00:21:19] "Candidates have equal responsibility to eliminate the guesswork and get the ultimate decision maker in the interview process a lot sooner than most companies do."
