    Andy, as usual, keeps it real. She gave some great HR tips and infor­ma­tion regard­ing the ever-evolving trends of HR.

    I com­pletely agree with the com­ment David made about clo­sure. I send a brief let­ter to all appli­cants for clo­sure pur­poses. I don’t want to leave any­one hang­ing, and I agree that this is a good mar­ket­ing tool for the com­pany. It really is all about pro­mot­ing your­self in the right way and pro­mot­ing your cor­po­rate cul­ture. You want to attract the right appli­cants from the start. If you attract and hire the right appli­cants there is less chance for turnover which is a very costly sce­nario for employers.

    Andy, thanks for remind­ing me to mar­ket to my own employ­ees. I also appre­ci­ate your insights regard­ing the soft skills that can some­times be forgotten.

    Fas­ci­nat­ing con­ver­sa­tion about an inter­est­ing side of busi­ness that it seems to me that many orga­ni­za­tions think too lit­tle about.

    Andrea, great inter­view you gave late March, which says so much about your pas­sion and under­stand­ing of lead­ing edge trends in human resources management.Thanks
