Perhaps most importantly, Jansen emphasized the concept of recruitment as a community effort. This perspective aligns with RnDAO’s marketing and community engagement strategies, suggesting that attracting talent should involve the entire organization's network, leveraging community connections and insights.

Scalability and Adaptability

Finally, Jansen's insights into scalability and adaptability in recruitment processes resonate with RnDAO’s modular product ecosystem.
