It's All About Adding That Human Element in Recruitment

The main reason why we went ahead with our first-ever podcast show, Recruitment Entrepreneurs was because we wanted to bring back inspiring entrepreneurial stories and add a human element that was somewhat missing in recruitment.

To take this further, we had invited Katrina Collier,?a keynote speaker, author of?The Robot-Proof Recruiter: A Survival Guide for Recruitment and Sourcing Professionals, and the Founder of Katrina Collier Limited for our 5th episode.

She has been associated with the recruitment world for more than a decade now.

While she sat down to have a conversation with our CEO, Sean Mallapurkar, she talked about candidate experience and the intensive value it can bring agency recruiters.

In Collier's words—?

"The right people will be coming your way anyway if you and your agency is genuinely caring that you want the best for your candidates and clients."
