We aren't just setting the bar - we are raising it!! One of my favorite quotes from a CFO that we are currently partnering with was this, after our first sales consultant hire: "The 3 people you sent were all great candidates, and I would have been in favor of hiring them 18-24 months ago. However, I do not want to move forward with any of them. Your candidate has raised our bar for a combination of personality and experience. John’s experience in the construction and landscaping world translates very well to our industry. The candidate’s historical success and personal enjoyment in the tasks associated with those professions seem to be a key indicator of success at our company."

In today’s Talent Brief, Gunnison Senior Technical Recruiter Blake Miyashiro shares his perspective on the importance of recruiting and how it impacts company success. "Many don't realize how important recruiting is to a company's success. Recruiting is more than just filling roles. It's also about creating a positive experience for everyone involved. We are often the first point of contact with the company, and that interaction matters. That's why we focus on clear communication, respect, and consistency throughout the process. How we show up leaves a lasting impression." Check back in each month to see what else our Talent Acquisition team has to share. #Gunnison #TalentAcquisition #GovCon
