1. Identify some of the established recruiting techniques that apparently underlie Trilogy’s approach to attracting talent.
Trilogy utilizes college recruiting as often as possible. They also frequent job fairs and computer science departments at colleges to look for possible recruits.

I would prefer to continue finishing my task versus taking said break. The idea of
