Podcast Notes
“When the culture is bad, you can pay someone a big audacious salary, give them lots of flexibility, and treat them to days away, but it means nothing. They will still leave.”
“The impact of someone starting in your company and then leaving leaves war wounds; it will ruffle feathers and create unrest that you just don’t need.”
“Wasting more time is the worst thing you can do. Just go for it, make the move, you’ve got it, you can do this.”
Emma Easton is a seasoned recruitment expert with a rich background in medical and accountancy recruitment. Emma, who now runs her own recruitment business, shares her extensive knowledge on the intricacies of attracting and retaining talent in today’s competitive job market.
