\\u201cThis conference is so exciting because people are now truly starting to think about talent from a long-term, pipeline-building perspective versus a just-in-time, instant-gratification mindset.\\u201d \\u2014 @candid_krishna [0:06:34]

\\u201cCareer development, or lack thereof, is the number one reason for people to leave their jobs and explore other opportunities. So, you want to make sure that the candidates are constantly receiving the support, feedback, and career development to be successful.\\u201d \\u2014 @candid_krishna [0:11:20]

\\u201cThis post-deployment framework, which I think is very unique to this industry, is going to be a game changer.\\u201d \\u2014 @candid_krishna [0:12:29]
