Quotations:

“I always use this analogy that recruiting people is a bit like reacting to the workload as opposed to planning for the workload.” - Ed Chan 

“...one big thing you taught me is hiring can be really emotional. I guess, endeavor. It's super important to make sure you process. You always go back to the process. If you find yourself drifting through the process. The process gives you the results, not your gut feeling necessarily.” - Tim Causbrook

“Just follow the process. Follow the process and let the outcome speak for itself.” - Jamie Johns
