Secrets to impressing their recruiters
"Our recruiters look for people who demonstrate a love for learning, who are self-driven and flexible, who have the desire to operate not as an individual but as a collaborative team member pushing others and themselves to excel. We love adaptability, agility, and the ability to think beyond today. Our recruiters are also impressed by a commitment to inclusion and diversity and a desire to give back to the community." --Mark Hamberlin, senior HR director, staffing.
