Here are seven truths I know about recruiting:
1. Fit matters more than hype.
2. Development matters more than promises.
3. Your role matters more than the logo.
4. Relationships matter when adversity arrives.
5. Money must be considered—but it cannot be the only consideration.
6. Every opportunity has a cost.
7. The wrong decision can delay a career that the right decision would accelerate.
Recruiting has changed.
Human nature has not.
