It's the Thrive Time Show. All right, Thrive Nation, welcome back to the conversation.

0:19.0

Let's say that you have a good potential employee that you finally found after doing massive

0:24.0

amounts of interviews how do you know that they're the right one before you

0:28.2

commit so you have two options here one which I highly recommend is having someone

0:33.4
