But businesses need to do much more than simply bring in talent. They need to bring in the right talent. They need to be able to bring in someone who will not only make an impact but someone…

One thing is for sure: For all the technological innovations benefiting modern businesses, companies can’t hit their financial and strategic objectives without great people and the talent they bring…
