Stephen ODonnell commented on Mervyn Dinnen's blog post 'Is Your Recruitment Partner Damaging Your Bottom Line??'

Stephen ODonnell commented on Mervyn Dinnen's blog post 'Simply The Best?...What Makes a Great Recruiter'

"Great article Mervyn. I was never what I would call a Big Biller (by industry standards), but I was always very competitive, and did take it personally if I wasn't the top biller in my company each month. Even as an agency owner, I would want…"

Agencies – Evolve Or Die, 8 Crucial Issues
