Let’s say that, for your next date-night, you choose the new fancy steakhouse in town. Their chef is world-famous, and you’ve never seen such stellar reviews for a pricey steak dinner. They promise to cater to your every need for the evening, and the meal does not disappoint. That is, until your dessert arrives. Where the rest of your dinner thrilled, your bland, boring soufflé falls, literally and figuratively, flat.

Making investments to improve your business is an important decision. We get it – you have to be sure that the expenditure is cost-effective and proves a clear ROI.

So, how do we recruit the best recruiters?
We could say it starts with TAM’s features — after one demo, most prospects can see we’ve built an applicant tracking system that meets their needs. But it’s rarely that simple. It starts before that, with the initial conversation.
In this interview, Edna details her approach to sales, how she vets the best possible clients, and her thoughts on client relations.
