Branding

Employer branding is extremely important, and it will only become more so. It’s vital that you position yourself as a company that cares about its recruiters’ and other employees’ well-being and development.  Even if you have a team of 3-4 people, it’s time to make it a priority; the potential recruiters

Proactive candidate engagement

candidates is becoming important in lower and level roles and for bringing top talent into the funnel.
