We use “rec tech” to speed up

recruiters more competitive
We help recruiters use social
media to generate business and
source talent

Is there a disconnect between the C Suite
and the rest of the business?
“So I am Chair of the company. I’m totally
convinced and I know I need to make the leap.
But my staff seem to be better at this than me”
Have you handed over your
keys to the “young’uns”?

Too many systems, not enough process?
Do you know what you want
each stream to do for you?
All the gear, no idea?
