Podcast: Brett Fitelson — Corporate Recruiting Is Passion, Not Commission: The Five Ps and What Candidate Experience Actually Costs

Oz Rashid sits down with Brett Fitelson, Technical Talent Acquisition Manager of Seminole Hard Rock Support Services, to explore what separates transactional recruiting from recruiting that genuinely changes lives. Brett came into staffing the way most great recruiters do: sideways. A yellow sticky note, a cold call to Robert Half, and a lot of persistence later, he discovered he was built for this work. Five years inside Seminole, Brett has personally hired over 600 people across 18 departments, 13 states, and four countries. We explore the real difference between agency staffing and corporate recruiting, how Brett’s candidate experience approach turned two SVP finalists into lifelong advocates, and why the Five Ps (proper preparation prevents poor performance) show up in every conversation he runs.
