Rather, this person will be on the phone giving a verbal handshake to prospective candidates while sharing all the necessary details of the position to either bring them to the interview room or network with them in hopes of being connected to qualified candidates. This more traditional method has stood the test of time again and again. 100% of our clients are repeat business because of this method.
