#36 - Why You Shouldn't Neglect Old School Recruitment Skills - Harvey Bass
In this episode of The Recruitment Reality Podcast, I had the pleasure of talking with Harvey Bass from Stascom about how he has maintained his business over 30 years.
In this episode, we focus on how 'old school' methods are exactly what you need to keep your business alive.
Harvey talks about:
The importance of using the phone
How to remain persistent and polite
Why he has his team in the office
How Stascom has survived multiple recessions
You'd be a fool not to listen if you want to hear some advice from an expert in our industry.
