We expect a lot but we’ll give a lot to get the right people. There are 4 main things we look for

- We want people people. You’ve got to like being around others, smiling and chatting because you like people, not because someone told him to smile and chat.
- We need extra milers. So if you think the job description is all you have to do, then we’re not for you.
