Yeah.

I would say that interviewing a lot of people is always the way to go.

You can pick people's brains.

You can get intel.

I do wonder if part of this is maybe there's an unprecedented level of active employees that are being asked to interview and you're needing permission to speak with them.

I don't know if that's part of it, but it sounds like that's definitely something that's happening, not just in Vancouver, but also in Nashville and in Toronto.

I don't know what makes Nashville and Toronto searches so unique in their own rights either.
