  • Excellent Content for Recruitment Agency Owners

    I’m not much of a podcast person, but I’m a huge fan of the resilient recruiter. I stumbled across this podcast when I first opened my agency and was looking for guidance. Every episode provides new tidbits that I regularly apply to my company. I usually finish the episodes feeling inspired and excited about what I can accomplish. I’d recommend this for anyone in recruiting, but especially for agency owners.
