“Recruiting is a reputation-driven system.” — @jasonmudd9
“PR didn't create demand; it removed the friction that prevented their growth.” — @jasonmudd9
“Public relations doesn't just influence how customers see you, it influences who wants to work for you, who shows up, and how they perform.” — @jasonmudd9
