Quotes:

“[When recruiting for niche roles] companies have to look at what makes sense for their business from a cultural perspective and from a labor market perspective.”

“There’s a cultural component for us working on [projects together and in-person] that is very important for our growth as an organization. It strengthens and deepens our commitment to our values and our purpose.”
