This week we ask the question, "Where do I find talent?"



One of the many questions I am asked by executives and hiring managers alike is where to find great talent. They also want to know what I do, as a professional recruiter, that is SO different than what they would do to find talent.



We answer those questions in a short, informative podcast aimed at helping you determine how you want to build your team, where to look for talent, how to pitch your opportunity, and reel in the talent you need to build a championship team.

Primary questions to ask yourself in this process to help you determine where your "fish" (Talent) live:


Where do my fish live today?
What do they eat?
What is the economic condition? Does that impact where the fish live and eat?
