In addition to what I learn and experience each and every business day about the current job market through my own executive recruiting firm, as a professional “headhunter,” I also keep my eyes wide open and my ears to the ground to keep abreast of current hiring trends and experiences in the broader market.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with a business owner who was having difficulty being mentally sharp and focused.
