Rick spoke on the top leading recruiting trends for 2017. Quality candidates remain as a top game changer for many of today's recruiters. How good your brand stands amongst the digital ecosystem competition depends strongly on great candidates finding, liking, and referring you. How well are you creating that winning user experience to attract top candidates? In turn, they look for opportunities that offer something beyond a desk job.
