Carolyn Betts Fleming is the Founder and CEO of Betts Recruiting, an organization that helps innovative companies build a solid talent base. Specializing in recruiting for revenue-generating roles, Betts stands at the forefront of what's happening in technology but is also at the helm of changing the future of staffing & recruiting.

She is a Pledger at Founders Pledge, which enables entrepreneurs and investors to give back to charity, and a Board Member at BUILD, a group that seeks to ignite the potential of under-resourced youth through entrepreneurship. Carolyn joins me today to discuss why 2021 is an excellent year of opportunity for women in technology. She reveals which technology jobs have the highest demand and explains how candidates can separate themselves from others, especially if they lack experience. She describes how COVID-19 impacted recruitment and how the jobs market is changing in 2021 in light of the "new normal." She also highlights what customer success means and underscores why companies should be intentional when cultivating diversity & inclusion in their teams.
