Recruiter and CEO, Radical Events

If you’re frustrated trying to find qualified candidates …

… or a flood of resumes from the wrong applicants …

… if you want to place more candidates faster …

… then this is important.

Here’s why: To find and place the best candidates, you must use the best practices.

Otherwise, that “A” player gets hired by somebody else.

But where do you find the latest and best recruitment methods?

You can read all the books and blogs in the world … or attend a dull, expensive HR conference … but most are just re-hashed versions of “me-too” techniques that stopped working 5 years ago.

Or, you can attend …
