By the time a Network Matters student applies for a job at your company, your managers have already spent a year assessing them in action. That's not recruiting — that's building a team.
Employees hired through direct relationships reduce hiring costs by 94%, stay 70% longer, and are 15x more likely to succeed than job board applicants.
