    Why Is Recruiting Such a Cluster?

    We've all experienced ridiculous and absurd events that transpired during the interviewing or recruiting process. Whether it is the candidate that called the hiring manager asking if he needed to "wear pants to an interview" (true story that we'll hear), the hiring manager who says, "let's meditate together and see if this is a good fit," or the interviewer who wants the candidate to do an "assessment" that is clearly one of their projects that they just can't deliver. Every single person reading this intro has a story; either as a candidate or hiring manager. We are going to have interesting and high-profile guests tell their stories. Our guests will range from tech executives, to recruiters, business leaders, and everything in between. Their comedy of errors serves as hilariously teachable moments and social commentary on topics like, "what should candidates wear to an interview," or "how do you determine when a candidate is a good fit." Listen to their stories brought to you by the host, Adrian Russo, Co-founder of RecruitLocator.
