“ When candidates come in the door, they already know about our organization’s culture
and values. We hire people who are more concerned with being a part of a company that
is growing and providing a career opportunity than those just interested in landing their
next ‘job’ or getting their next paycheck. Glassdoor gives them a transparent look at
what we’re doing at WilsonHCG, which is to build around our people.!
