My favorite trait from the Remarkable People article is “they are hard to pigeon hole.”  I think that is one of the reasons that our services are so valuable.  Sure, anyone can look at a resume and match up keywords; you don’t even need a person to do that!  But it takes recruitment expertise to see these truly “remarkable people” as fits for a specific opportunity because their background typically doesn’t fit the traditional mold you are looking for.  Knowing the difference between these top performers and the people who think they are top performers can be difficult.  I think it takes the combination of experience and an open minded, unbiased approach.

How do you tell the difference between people who talk the talk and those who can walk the walk?
