Who is Critical in Hiring
Experience is important and hiring managers seek that as do we. However, digging deeper for who a person is is a higher priority. Who is critical in hiring.
By digging deeper and asking who what how and where or certain events, we learn a lot of facts that will be useful to piece together who a candidate is at core.
