Takeaways:

  • Passion, drive, initiative and positivity being responsible are all essential traits for the perfect candidate.
  • Advertise roles in a way with the objective of enticing candidates. Make your vacancy a dream job!
  • It is essential that candidates can handle constructive feedback!
