Given the current talent economy, organizations are challenged to consistently attract and retain the right caliber of talent. BLR®, with the kind sponsorship of SilkRoad, has just completed a survey about several interesting aspects of recruiting today. To help us interpret some of the survey data, we’ve asked Alexandra Levit to join us. She is the CEO of Inspiration at Work.

- Which metrics to provide to the C-suite that measure your recruiting success
And much more!
Guest was incredible. Loved the bit on Zappos recruiting via Instagram. The host seems a little dry and could be more conversational. A little playful banter with the guests can go a long way.
