Hello Recruiting and HR Friends.

Matt Alder with MetaShift in the UK interviewed John Vlastelica, Founder of Recruiting Toolbox, a few weeks ago about the topic he's most passionate about:

How to engage hiring managers in the recruitment process.

John's been preaching on this topic since his first conference presentation 15 years ago. It's about 25 minutes long. If you're looking to make a New Year's resolution focused on doing something that's truly a win-win for you and your business (and makes your job more fun), you might want to check this out.

And be sure to check out our leadership panel with recruiting directors from companies like Booking, Instagram and Zillow at the Talent42 conference in June to hear more about this critical topic. ‪#‎willnotsuck‬
