• Listen and learn the best way to get beyond “resume only questions”. How do you get to understand an applicant’s wants/needs for company culture and align to company need/wants?
• Hear Leslie Crowe’s favorite question to ask in an interview. Discover how asking this question will give you more information rather than asking 20 surface level questions.
