Better Talent has been an invaluable resource to Big Sky Vacation Rentals.  Their industry connections and network have solved for one of our greatest challenges…finding the right people and getting them in the right seats.

Thanks to Bettertalent.com, we don’t save “hours” but literary “days” with each hire. No more going through hundreds of resumes, calling potential candidates or setting up countless appointments. Just a dozen highly pre-qualified candidates to choose from, ready for their final in-person interview.
