It's like getting all of the answers to the test to the hardest questions we'll all face as talent leaders in scaling companies.”

    “While I have led recruiting efforts in various companies I currently have the unique opportunity to do it from the ground level. This course helped me re-think and challenge some of my ideas on how to effectively do that. I am grateful for the timely information and frameworks that the workshop provided. Also, extremely grateful for the professional network it provides you with to further strategize and communicate about the challenges we face as recruiting leaders”

    "This course allowed me to both affirm and challenge many of the approaches I bring to leading teams today. It made me think! It also provided a great opportunity to learn from others outside of my typical circle (which I will admit, is incredibly more valuable that I had initially thought). I was definitely impressed with the Growth by Design crew and look forward to future courses and connections."
