When you’re at the racetrack, you hit a trifecta if you pick which horses will finish first, second, and third, in the exact order. When you’re hiring for your BV practice, you must hit the candidate trifecta. What does that mean?
In a nutshell, hitting the candidate trifecta means finding someone who has the experience you’re wanting to bring on board, who is ready to consider a job change now, and either already is, or would be happy to relocate to where you are.
