Quotes:

“When you think about companies not being able to find enough applicants—how many people are there in the world? Something like 8 billion, right? And [there are] 330 million in the US. So is the problem that we can't find applicants, or we're not looking in the right place, or we're not in a broad enough spectrum?”

“That’s really one of the most important things in recruiting today: the ability to build rapport and a sense of belonging with the candidates and to help them understand the culture and what it is to work there.”
