When it comes to recruiting, we’re all hired hands. Staffing in 2022, frankly, feels like the Wild, Wild West. But every Datamax-er has a hand in helping wrangle up the right person, for the right job, at the right moment. Venture out into your Centers of Influence, and let the round-up begin.
When it comes to recruiting, it’s important to remember: Everybody is the right person. They’re either the right person in the wrong job or the right person with the wrong team fit. When I think about hiring and onboarding in 2022, I point right back to Datamax culture. It’s more crucial now than ever that we look to find the right person, in the right job, with the right team fit.
