14 signs you are a certified ‘Recruiting Tragic’

What is a recruiting tragic? A recruiting tragic is a person who just can’t help bringing most things in life back to… recruiting. I admit to being guilty. I know others in the sad club. We don’t want to be like this. We are not proud of the affliction. It’s just in our DNA. Think […]
