Miranda isn't a professional - just someone with knowledge of the business she's recruiting for, some imagination, people skills and drive. Kevin's previous 1,000 words were obviated by the revelation of the last paragraph. Good recruiters can be trained... but starting with the right people sure puts you ahead of the game.

I was at the conference and heard Miranda speak. It was inspiring to hear how she overcame so many challenges to deliver for her client (Peter Jackson). The principle message I took away from Miranda's presentation that 'there are never any impossible recruitment assignments, I just haven't thought laterally enough, yet, to find the right solution!'

Great Thanks to Kevin for writing it... I especially like the final points encouraging us to not rely soley on technology to find our talent.
