“At Constant Contact, we’ve scaled our hiring without compromising quality by doubling down on a few fundamental elements,” says Winkel. “We’ve built a strong foundation with our robust applicant tracking system, heightened job-market awareness and well-prepared hiring managers who understand both our business needs and the talent landscape.”
