Nathan shares his journey from the military to leading his own recruitment company, focusing on the trades and automotive industries. We talked about the need for companies to align their values and compensation to attract skilled tradesmen and go deep on the importance of understanding job-specific requirements. Our conversation got into trust and communication in building successful professional relationships as well as supporting veterans and their spouses in their career transitions.
