We couldn’t resist having a little fun for this St. Patrick’s Day… 🍀🍺 Watch as some of our team steps up to the plate (or the pint) to take on splitting the G—the Irish art of sipping a Guinness just enough to land the foam right in the middle of the "G." Safe to say, they’re much better recruiters than they are at this challenge! Although… some might argue Brian’s wasn’t actually a fail. What do you think? Cheers to some good laughs and a great St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️🍻 Brian Love Patrick Cooney Joseph Fantacone Giancarlo Gomes #stpatricksday #guinness #executiverecruiting #financialservices #companyculture
