A recruiter’s job is to fill the company’s talent pipeline.”. Now you might be saying to yourself, “Same thing.” But I’m not sure it is. Hear me out.

Mindfulness by definition is, “the practice of maintaining a nonjudgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.” Seems simple enough, right? However, achieving a state of mindfulness as defined above, while balancing the busy schedule of a working professional seems like another impossible task on the grand to-do list.
