Expr3ss! feedback from HR leaders of the future

Thanks to Professor Mary Barrett of the University of Wollongong School of Management, Operations & Marketing for her invitation to present to her post-graduate HR and recruitment selection group.

This, from Professor Mary Barrett: “You could tell from the students’ expressions and the quality of their questions that they were riveted by the presentation.  It gave them – and me – something I could not have done on my own.” The presentation gave an appreciation of how recruitment methodologies have changed and are continuing to change with advancements in technology.  Expr3ss! puts technology at the forefront of selection.
