2. How did you become a CEO or executive of a large enterprise? Can you please briefly tell the story?
I left the agency world and always felt I could be working for myself and on my own so as I was looking I thought "Well I can't be the only independent recruiter out there so as I was calling clients, I called candidates and independent recruiters...and so MindHR was created.
