KEY QUOTES FROM KOSKO:
Legion’s executive leaders walk around and strike up “conversations that are not about work. Is it distracting for that person for a few seconds? Yeah, but does it go a long way to make them more invested in the company, with having executive leadership on the floor, asking them if they need any help with anything? … It’s just gone a long way to the culture we’re creating.”
“We’ve done a lot of good things to have a pulse on the office and see if people are ready for new opportunities within the company.”
“Communication needs to be consistent all the way through [the hiring process]. There can’t be a disconnect or dragging your feet to talk to the candidate you’re interested in.”
“We value the culture fit way more than industry experience.”
