MarketingSherpa: How did you get into the recruiting business?
Harry Joiner: I owned a marketing consultancy called Reliable Growth: I worked with companies like NCR and Aflac to teach their people how use the Internet to research, identify, and develop profitable new markets. I got into recruiting when I realized that many people are essentially untrainable in the “expeditionary marketing” process. They either can’t learn it -- or simply won’t learn it. The real value lies in sourcing and screening those candidates that have what I call the “growth chromosome.” So I changed my focus.
