True transformation begins with the mind; only by embracing new perspectives can we unlock the full potential for progress and innovation. 

Let's challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones and explore different ways of thinking. By doing so, we can create a better future for ourselves and those around us. 

Remember, the greatest barrier to progress is our own limited thinking. Let's break free from those constraints and unleash our full potential.

I once put forward a candidate who had the open to work banner up.
I once put forward a candidate with a gap longer than 5 months on their CV. 
I once put forward a candidate with no industry experience.
I once put forward a candidate from another country with no visa status.
I once put forward a candidate who didn't want to climb the corporate ladder. 

Sometimes the best candidate to put forward doesn't look like the others.

There isn't one way to hire. 

Think outside the box.
