How to Explain TA/RecOps to Different Crowds
Tomorrow is the official kickoff of "So what do you do again" season for RecOps professionals.
So, like Mariah Carey, it's our time to roll out the article we wrote that helps explain it to everyone in your life.
Thank you again to the marvelous Jim Stroud for the wonderful cartoon work he did a few years ago.
