In this week’s Oven-Ready podcast Chris Taylor talks to William Tincup about whether the recruitment market is as hot as we’re led to believe and whether there is such a thing as work-life balance.
William Tincup is the president and editor-at-large of Recruiting Daily. He is at the intersection of work and technology and is a writer, speaker, adviser, consultant, investor, podcaster and storyteller. He also serves on the board of 20+ HR technology startups.
