Ep 78: Recruiting High Performance Start Up Teams
It is always important to step back and see the world through a different lens. With that in mind, I\u2019ll be talking to several people on the show this year who have a vested interest in recruiting but aren\u2019t viewing it from inside the industry bubble. My guest on this week\u2019s show is Charlie O\u2019Donnell founder and partner at Brooklyn Bridge Ventures in New York. Charlie is an early stage investor in a number of fast growing start-up companies and has first-hand experience of seeing which recruiting strategies are working in these dynamic business environments.
