QUOTES


Mike - The Six-Second step of checking resumes: “The
average recruiter, even with all the advancement in technology
and machine learning and AI, their eyes are trained to look for
two or three certain buzzwords. And they're going to spend about
six seconds determining my 30 years of domain
expertise.” 
 


“If those buzzwords don't pop out and make it easy for them,
they're just going to move right on to the next candidate. So,
you know, not only does it just suck the life out of talented
people that are trying to engage with the right employers,
employers are missing out on great talent because of this broken
six-second step that happens all too often.”


Hollie - Embedding values into career competency: “Our
values are embedded in our sort of career competency. Each team
is given a competency that they are supposed to test that aligns
with our leadership competency. So we've embedded that all the
way through.”


Bill - The importance of past performance: “Past
performance is not indicative of future results, but there has to
be a past performance because we can determine the attribute
that's most important, which is a quantifiable success.”
