Submitting 257 applications and hearing crickets? You're doing it wrong.

In this segment of Tech Legacies, host Fanny Dunagan sits down with the team from Odyssey Information Services, Kristin Hughes (2021 SourceCon Grand Master Challenge Winner), Jon Hibbs, and Ben Coan, to pull back the curtain on how elite recruiters actually find candidates, what's broken in today's job market, and the unconventional moves that get people hired.

- Real leadership lessons from 25+ years of building tech teams
