The Importance of Soft Skills and Customer Focus in Hiring for Technical Roles

You guessed it this episode is all about recruitment!

Who is this episode for? Well if you have a career in geospatial … it's for you!

Getting the job you want, changing your career path, or deciding whether to work at a start-up or a more established company. Once you have made these decisions, how do you stand out from the crowd? What is it the recruiters are looking for? And if you do get offered a contract should you negotiate and what is negotiable? 

Jett Metcalf has worked as a geospatial recruitment specialist for a few well-known companies like Google, Descartes Labs and is currently the Head of Talent at Regrow Ag. In this episode, he is going to help us understand some of the answers to these questions.
