After a 10-year study with 10,000 employees and 200 companies, executive recruiting firm Milewalk has uncovered the secret reasons that employers have such difficulty attracting and retaining A-Level talent.  

On October 27, we’ll be interviewing Milewalk CEO Andrew LaCivita live to discuss what he learned from this study.

In his latest book, [*The Hiring Prophecies*](http://milewalk.com/books/the-hiring-prophecies/), Andrew LaCivita presents the results of his 10-year study that revealed the leading indicators of recruiting and retention success.

He shows how to develop a process to find the candidates who are the best fit and the ones most likely to stay with the company long-term, and teaches the most effective interview techniques and questions to evaluate a candidate.

Andrew is the founder and chief executive officer of Milewalk, an executive recruitment firm. His other books include *Interview Intervention* and *Out of Reach but Insight*. He’s also a speaker and blogs at [milewalk.com/mwblog](http://milewalk.com/mwblog).
