June 29, 2020 10:27 - 16 minutes - 30.7 MBThe role of recruiters is changing! It's not enough anymore to just send CVs and book in interviews. We need to be “hiring advisors” to stakeholders.

I feel this approach is not the best because I've seen it cause more harm than good to recruitment processes, and it ignores some of the more complex aspects of recruitment (for example stakeholder management, employer branding and much more).
