Recruiting Comes Full Circle

The ballad of Ashley Grutter Continues



I receieved an e-mail from one of my collegues stating: "Ashley Grutter has you listed as a referral source, do you want to interview her?". I was just getting over the whole Nashville Star let-down and to tell you the truth I needed a little good news.


One week later, Ashley Grutter herself is sitting in our conference room and completing an official interview with me. It was great to hear why she hadn't continued on past the Finals for NS, and to be honest with you: "Their Loss is My Win!"


Turns out that this candidate is fantastic. She presents herself professionally, has a good head on her shoulders and is smarter than most College Graduates walking in the door. The best is yet to come as I plan on finding a spot for this talent (multi-talent) whose recruiting circle started on a sunny afternoon in Greenville, Michigan working at the home of the "Quicker Picker-Uper".
