Adam, who also was co-founder and Chief People Officer at Scout, has helped over 60 companies hire around 1,500 people.

The trio discusses the impact of remote work on company culture.

Drawing on insights from Brian Adams, an expert in employer branding, Adam underscores the value of clear and honest messaging about what it's really like to work at a company. This balanced perspective allows candidates to make informed decisions and ensures a better fit between employer and employee.
