- “You have to take the time to talk to people as a person, not as a candidate.”
- “The key to the business is working on realistic jobs and the company being realistic about what they’re looking for.”

Action Steps:
- Focus on relationship building: Developing strong relationships with candidates and clients is crucial. By understanding people’s personalities and needs beyond their resumes, you can better match them with organizations, thereby addressing the challenge of superficial recruitment processes.
- Embrace and utilize technology: Incorporating tools like AI and ChatGPT can streamline processes, from creating job descriptions to writing effective communication. This tackles the challenge of staying competitive and efficient in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
- Set realistic expectations: Ensure that both candidates and companies have clear and achievable expectations by engaging in frank discussions. This approach helps avoid mismatches and unrealistic demands, which are common hurdles in the recruitment process.
