The chances of that are slim. You're in the same boat. And I just want to say as well, you don't share anything publicly. And obviously, if people are celebrating sober success on LinkedIn, you know, you can go and say congratulations. People don't need to follow it back to you, especially those who are in early days.
What happens when a seasoned recruiter decides to shake things up and build a supportive community for sober professionals? In this episode of 'The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast', host Lysha Holmes sits down with Pete Watson, the founder of Mint Recruitment R2R in Melbourne, Australia.
