I’ve spent enough time in staffing to notice a pattern: sales and recruiting are sitting on the exact same relationships, and most of the time neither side knows it. Here’s what I mean. A recruiter on my team talks to a candidate today. That candidate works at a bank we’ve been trying to break into…
