KEY TAKEAWAYS

However, they overcame it by establishing a presence in the areas they sourced talent from and building relationships.
👉 In terms of customer insights, Benjamin describes how they have a casual relationship with their clients and often ask for feedback through text messages or during client interviews. By maintaining close communication with clients, they are able to continuously improve their onboarding process and ensure client satisfaction.
👉 When asked about the key traits he looks for in candidates, Benjamin emphasizes the importance of candidates asking questions during interviews. He believes that candidates who ask thoughtful questions about growth opportunities and success indicators are more likely to be committed and dedicated to their roles.
