\\u201cI like to think of recruitment as tuning into the channel, WIIFM: what\\u2019s in it for me? When you tune into WIIFM, we\\u2019re able to have a genuine conversation not built around what we\\u2019re trying to serve and the interests that we\\u2019re trying to perpetuate but instead the mission that that candidate or that individual is trying to serve.\\u201d \\u2014 @thebrianfink [0:06:13]
