“By decentralizing the network
and decoupling it from just one recruiter when you’re working with
a traditional firm to a network of leaders across the country, you
get amazing talent with a trusted introduction.” — @NickCromydas

“In a universe where you can
hire anyone anywhere and not just the person in your backyard, the
only way that you’re actually going to get them to acknowledge
something in your inbox or in your LinkedIn, is through a trusted
introduction.” — @NickCromydas

“Every company will be a tech
company down the road in some form or fashion and it’s what’s
making the market really challenging right now, given the limited
