About this webinar

In many organizations recruiting is reactive. Your executive team and hiring managers tell you which roles they need filled at the last minute, and you scramble to fill them. Often, as hiring goals multiply, talent acquisition budgets do not. 
At a time when hiring is becoming more competitive by the day, it's crucial to partner with your CFO to get the resources you need to reach your hiring goals, so your company can reach its business goals. 

Download this video with Michelle Weaver, ex-Hired CFO and current CFO of Twitch, and Mike Bailen, VP of People at Lever as they discuss taking talent acquisition from reactive to strategic.
