Let's get this breakdown started! This podcast will run you through each of the direct interest sources and help you make a roadmap for setting up a source.

If we work together, we can find a constructive way to feed valuable people into each other's flywheels. You’ll find the greatest flywheel success when the recruiting and marketing teams work together.

Direct interest applicants are a great source for qualified, fit, eager candidates. You have to actively drive the flywheels in order to maximize the results from direct interest.
