Mia: Welcome, everyone, to our expert roundtable discussion on the transformative power of employee referrals in today’s competitive job market. I’m Mia, your host and CloudApper Sales Representative. Today, we’re diving into how our solution, hrPad, is revolutionizing the way companies leverage networking for hiring. Joining me are two of our esteemed solution specialists, Alex, our Senior HR Technology Consultant, and Sarah, our Employee Engagement Strategist. Thank you both for being here.
