Talent Hunters

The rise of tech and the ups and downs of the economy. These have always been the 2 biggest perceived threats to the very survival of recruiters.

Every single time a piece of technology becomes a part of our jobs, there’s a concern that we might become obsolete. First it was fax machines and computers, then it was LinkedIn, internal hiring schemes and now it’s AI.

What allows a recruiter to have staying power when all these platforms and disruptions can indeed be used to find talent? How do you keep a team of high tenured recruiters invested in the basics?

In this episode, we’re joined by legend and leader, Mark Angott. He shares what 4 decades in the business have taught him, and how his business has stayed consistently successful through different economies and changes.
