They explore the concept of a Bigfoot candidate and the importance of understanding the skills and expectations required for a role — while also highlighting the difficulties in finding and attracting top talent.The episode emphasizes the need for recruiters to adopt a role as talent advisors and strategic partners to hiring teams — so they can align talent acquisition efforts with leadership priorities.
