The existing options all come from big, back-end technology operators: they’re systems designed in the dark. By contrast, we’re from an agency world that’s purpose built to be responsive and accommodating. It’s what we do for a living, after all.” https://hrtechfeed.com/careers-website-platform-launches/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
