S1E10: Recruit, Hire, and Retain Better Talent | Nate Stansberry, President of Rust Belt Recruiting

Are you 100% confident in your company's ability to recruit & retain employees that out-perform the expectations for their role? Or do you, like many, struggle to find the right applicants and resort to overpaying or hiring people that you know aren't what you really need to move the business forward?

Join us for a deep dive into an issue that every small and mid-sized business seems to be facing, attracting and hiring top talent. Our hosts are joined by a former EOS client of CultureShoc's and current President of Rust Belt Recruiting, Nate Stansberry, in this highly entertaining and informative episode. 

While our guest primarily serves those in the industrial sector and within approximately 150 miles from Cleveland, the strategies and sentiments he shares are relevant globally, for companies of any size and in any industry.
