Who’s telling your story?

Acquiring and retaining top talent is the competitive advantage and according to Top Grading by Brad Smart, most companies achieve only a 25% success rate in hiring top talent, or A players.

If your not finding and acquiring top talent what story are you telling yourself, and more importantly, who’s telling your story in the marketplace?

“Executive recruiting relies on significant business experience, market research, and personal and professional networks. These resources put executive recruiters in an incredibly influential position from which to drive and direct the search for leadership advantage.” Deciding Who Leads, by Joseph Daniel McCool.
