I'm Tayler Ulmer, ethnographer extraordinaire, whose research has taken me from the whispered stories in Liberian rice fields to the ancient secrets of Beijing's hutongs to the unspoken truths in Seattle's polished living rooms.

Here's the burning truth: recruitment has forgotten its humanity. While you're out there helping companies uncover the gold in their clients' narratives, your own recruitment journey should crackle with that same electricity and soul.

Because if anyone understands the power of human stories and experiences —it's you.

And if anyone can transform the cold machinery of recruitment into a pulsing, breathing art form that honors the full tapestry of humanity, it's us.
