Talent + Talks Podcast

19 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago -

Talent + Talks Podcast is a place to discuss everything talent-related including how to engage, attract, hire, train, and retain talent. Our second season (2020) was supposed to be focused on interviewing and how to win that perfect job, but with the onset of COVID-19, we thought it would be more relevant to include interviews with the leaders in the area of sales, marketing and leadership that could provide a roadmap to our clients and friends in the areas of sales and marketing to the Life Sciences, Diagnostics and Genetics industry that would allow them to come out of this pandemic stronger, better and more agile than before. What happened to Season 1? That will be introduced later in 2020. Stay Tuned!
