"My day-to-day enjoyment of the job improved when I became a better recruiter." @ColePrescott_, Associate Director of @theNAECAD, shared the reasoning behind why they launched their new recruiting certificate. Recruiting doesn't have to be chaotic - that's why we're proud to be partnered with NAECAD and to be their recruiting platform of choice.
