@BestofLinkedin The only CEO with a Mohawk! Should be president of the Fed with that kind of resume

@ChrisJBakke I am aghast

[James Aiken 👔 @LegacyGVL]

@Ryanilbasso Yea our standard had been free replacement but getting redlines from large corps on 100% cash refund if turnover within 90-180d which is completely unreasonable (imo).

@BowTiedWolfDog @BowTiedSalesGuy "How much experience do you have recruiting 10y+ data analysts from the food and bev industry in Tompkin, Minnesota?" 🙃

@YogaPantsRec Bizarro world. Don't use your inside contacts to... contact the inside of the business?

[James Aiken 👔 @LegacyGVL]

@JesseZulak Without hesitation unless we guaranteed 'first mover' rights with the client (which is rare).
