Episode #167 with Brad Owens- Hiring for Attitude Over Skill!

My name is Brad Owens and I spent a decade helping some of the top companies in the country find new talent as an external recruiter. Now I'm sharing what I've learned, sort of like the "Robin Hood of Hiring", as the host of a podcast called "Small Business Hiring". I interview the leaders of organizations that have been voted one of the best places to work and talk with them about how hiring and creating corporate culture plays a role in their success.
