Social media platforms are the most powerful tools we have to connect with other people. For reference, Facebook had 1.96 billion (yes, that’s billion with a “B”) active daily users as of Q1 2022.
For 50 years, Charles Aris operated almost entirely from its headquarters in downtown Greensboro, N.C. But in 2022, the firm announced its employees can indefinitely choose whether they want to work in the office, remotely or utilize a combination of both.
InterSearch, a global network of retained executive search firms, gathered from May 13-15 in Frankfurt, Germany for its first in-person conference since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
