28. IN CLOSING
⢠Finding talented people to work for you is going to be much
harder than it is to find new clients
⢠And what worked for you before will not work going forward
⢠So if you want your strategies to come to life, think about
the execution now
⢠And that means new and better ways to connect with
talent
⢠I have learned the incredible power and influence of social
media
⢠It is not frivolous. Itâs not ânice to haveâ
⢠Itâs not the holy grail either
⢠But its a key part of our recruitment strategy â and I would
suggest yours
