Atlanta’s airport is one of the busiest in the world, and the interstates that meet in the city make the region a major center for distribution and logistics. Atlanta is also home to many corporate headquarters, a large payments and financial technology industry, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and major research universities.
The metro is spread out, and traffic on I-285, I-75, and I-85 heavily affects who will take a job. An opening in the northern suburbs and a candidate on the south side may be a poor match even though both are “in Atlanta.” We screen for location and commute early.
Growth means competition. Distribution centers, corporate offices, and fast-growing suburbs are often hiring for similar people at the same time, so speed and clear communication help you win candidates.
