A point that I’ve made for years is that in order to increase the depth of the talent pool, companies need to actively look outside their narrow and specific channel of the AV and CE businesses and acquire talent from outside. Cast your nets wider in search of great people. Not only does that broaden your pool of potential candidates, but also it cross-pollinates your company with skills and experience from other industries.
