Scaling With People

Send us a text

Recruiting and talent acquisition is an opportunity to scale, and we need to take the tusk out of it and reframe it. We’re in a time of evolution and change, and the days of relying on posting are behind us. The days of creating a distinction through consistency are now. Effective talent acquisition and recruitment are all about examining our understanding as CEOs and founders and asking more questions to calibrate the tools and relationships that we need to meet the needs of our business. Working under assumptions creates a chasm for our teams and everybody involved. Learn to recreate and reignite your business with the possibility of partnering with your external or internal resource teams.

Join the conversation with Tremaine Friend as he shares the different types of talent acquisition strategies, the Proven Path to Talent Acquisition, employee branding, pay transparency, and the best ways to find and hire the right people for your business.
