 Notable Quotes

●      What the next generation of recruiting professionals needs to get good at is learning to build an audience online and learn how to generate an inbound stream of clients and candidates.

●      I think what’s lost a little bit from an agency perspective when you’re remote is when you’re new.

●      You have to be able to make the content you’re creating relevant to the audience and the niche you have chosen to engage.

●      When the market is really tight, it becomes harder to find good candidates.

●      There’s no reason not to be niche. You know the market better. You know your audience better, and you have a deeper network of clients and candidates.

●      If a good candidate is referred to a company, they should hire them.
