We signed up on the IdealTraits platform on Monday. I posted three positions. One is rather unique in that it is something potentially new for us, a Digital and Communication manager. I worked with John Hill on the description and he was very helpful.  In 24 hours we had 33 submissions for that position of which 13 are worthy of consideration and of them, 4 or 5 are really good. Would not have happened without this tool. Make that 34.  One just came in as I was writing this. Good stuff!
