Episode Highlights:
13:33 - I think a big mistake that I see a lot of people make is, they ask very, I want to call them, phone screening questions.
19:46 - I think that's where the communication between recruiters and leaders is essential. That recruiters really understand what it takes for someone to get off to a fast start?
25:33 - It's earned independence and one of the things that I would do is in the offer meeting when we go over, "Hey, Heather, we'd love for you to join our organization. You know, here's why we think we may be a great fit." But part 2, I want them to understand if this is the right fit, let me go over my expectations, and I would have a 10-page document at everything from meetings that are expected weekly, monthly; activity that is expected daily, weekly, monthly; minimums that are expected monthly, quarterly, annually.
