There's a rule of business known by leaders far and wide: "To succeed, you have to take risks."Leaders may repeat the mantra often, but many still fall into the trap of avoiding risks because of the sting of prior failures and the fear of facing new ones.

There are many benefits to hiring an in-house employee, but cost isn't typically one of them.

Because I've recently been doing freelance work with Recruiter.com, I literally see dozens of resumes each and every day.Before I attempt to shake readers awake with my words, let me state for the record that I understand with every fiber of my being why people are making these poor choices.

When recruiting, most companies immediately turn to the old standby methods of finding talent – job board advertisements, connecting with others via LinkedIn, and scoping out institutions like universities in the community.While that might be all your company needs to build a team, it's always worth spicing up your recruiting game with a little creativity, especially now that the competition for talent is only getting tougher.Here are some surprising places you could just meet your next hire – if you give them a chance:1.
