Wow what a week it’s been! Quick touchdown from RecFest and it was off to LinkedIn Talent Connect Summit. And BTTM isn’t done with conference season yet!
Tim Sackett and I caught up at LinkedIn Talent Connect Summit to talk all about what’s going down in the world of recruiting:
Beating the ATS
Finding Purple Squirrels
Quality of Hire And of course...
his conference!
