Renowned business author Ken Blanchard once said ”Feedback is the breakfast of champions”, yet the sad fact is far too many recruitment firms still haven’t implemented an effective, systemised feedback process.

An important step in our quest to improve is for us to become ‘champions’ at listening and learning from what our clients and candidates have to say.
