Well, what if I told you there’s a whole new game plan just waiting for you to discover?

Join us on August 8 at 2 pm ET with our very own star player, Brian Fink, author of Talk Tech to Me and Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at McAfee. We’re going to huddle up and dive deep into the concept of hiring for potential. It’s all about looking beyond a candidate’s current skills and experience and focusing on their capacity to grow, adapt, and drive future success. It’s a whole new way to play the game.
