Thanks for sharing your feedback. It sounds like you haven't yet experienced our Candidate Assessment training or formal mentorship program and I encourage you to reach out to HR to see if you can take part in both. The Candidate Assessment is a new recruitment strategy and hiring program rolled out across the U.S. that focuses on hiring the right people for the right roles, based on thoughtful, data-driven decision-making. Our mentorship program provides all levels of staff the opportunity to connect with a mentor anywhere in the world short- or long-term to focus on their goals. I hope you have a chance to participate in one or both soon! Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
