QUOTE OF THE DAY

“We examine the period from the first time we engage with a candidate to the time we decide to hire. We analyze the funnel: when we first engage them, where they are during each step, and when we hire them. That way, we can tweak the funnel to eliminate any roadblocks and modify or optimize each step.”

—Tirayu Songvetkasem, head of Maknet and chief digital officer of Siam Makro, on Maknet’s funnel-based approach to attracting talent in a recent episode of The Venture podcast
