- Previous hires had failed to align with Charlie’s leadership style.
- Hiring was time-consuming, high-risk, and overwhelming

Charlie’s Words
“They didn’t just hunt and find candidates. They took the time to match each candidate’s characteristics, traits, and skills to ensure the most perfect match. I can be picky when it comes to partners, but I can honestly say this was a 10/10 experience. I would rehire and recommend The Yutori Method without any hesitation.”
