Chris Flakus has been recruiting executives for 30 years. Today he is offering practical advice on how job candidates can land better positions and how companies can hire and retain better employees.

His message to jobseekers is straightforward:
Stay relevant by demonstrating
1. adaptability
2. curiosity
3. a commitment to lifelong learning.

His recommendation to employers is equally clear: Hire, develop, and reward people who embody those three qualities.
