Takeaways
80 to 90% of advice is garbage. Revenue with no margins is almost just as bad as no revenue. AI is fundamentally changing the recruiting industry. The labor market is the largest market in the world. Jobs should find the people, not the other way around. You have to commit to one thing if you’re seeing results. Recruiting is a people business. You can’t just rely on AI for recruiting. Keep your eye on the prize. Get off the feed, it’s a huge distraction.
