Renowned recruiter, Greg Savage, joins The Recruiters Hangout on the 29th April, 12:00 BST, as we discuss, ‘Why are we still ballsing up recruiting basics with candidates and losing revenue?’
Greg has 35 years experience owning, managing and growing staffing businesses across the world, including such names as Recruitment Solutions, Firebrand Talent Search, Eloquent Staffing and People2People.
