What attendees are saying about The Talent Advantage workshop:
- “I want to extend a big mahalo to you for supporting us in our sourcing efforts for qualified oncology infusion nurses. As soon as we applied some of your tips and reposted our job description, we received several inquiries. One of which is now our FT oncology infusion nurse on maui. Appreciate your thoughtful insight and expertise in the local market!”
- “This workshop worked right away. I applied 3 of the many tips Tracie gave us and within the week, we had 4 highly qualified candidates. When we made an offer, I asked what other questions we could answer and our candidate said none – your job posting stood out to me, answered my questions, and I knew it was the right fit.”
- “As soon as we applied some of your tips and reposted our job description, we received several inquiries. One of which is now our FT [highly specialized role] on Maui.”
- “Great workshop!”
- “Thanks so much for an engaging and insightful workshop yesterday! I'm glad I got to hear some of your tips and tricks in this ever-evolving talent and recruitment world. I left feeling reenergized, wheels turning with ideas and couldn't wait to share what we learned.”
