Why Bad Days Matter in Recruitment

It is a stigma in recruitment (especially with all the bragging and oversharing that goes on over social media channels about celebrating success, brilliant client wins, smashing targets and hot deals) that anyone ever has a bad day/week/month/quarter.

Want to Start a Recruiting Revolution? Stop Doing What Everyone Else Is Doing

Look, your recruiting strategy is effectively 98 percent the same as every other company.

AND YET many companies are seemingly trying to make them complicated, and completely un-user friendly.
