To help minimize these costs, more business owners are embracing the mindset behind hiring top talent.

On this episode of unsuitable, we’re chatting with Desiree Lyon, a human resources and recruitment professional with demonstrated talent acquisition expertise. This episode kicks off our HR mini-series, which will provide you with tools and insight to strengthen your existing recruitment and retention strategy.
