Company growing less than inflation

“Andre is definitely very knowledgeable about recruiting in the UK, and that's exactly what I want from a mentor. He's very straight up, and I appreciate him not sugarcoating anything about the process. I got what I was looking for out of this meeting, which is a general idea of what recruiting is like in the UK, and will definitely reach out again when I have more information about further steps for specific firms for his guidance. He's told me hes familiar with most of the processes, and he'll be a valuable mentor going forward.”
