Rona Borre is “The Chicago Tech Connector”

Rona Borre, Founder & CEO of Instant Alliance, a leading strategic IT staffing firm in Chicago joins Enterprise Radio to discuss building a business through strong relationships.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Rona Borre discuss the following:

1. How did you come up with the idea to start Instant Alliance?
2. How do you empower/motivate your team?
3. What do you see being the next “big” thing in recruiting (tech specifically)?
4. What is one piece of advice you would give other women who are looking to get into the tech industry?
5. Your biggest pet peeve when interviewing someone?

Conclusion: When it comes to networking and making progress in your career, make sure to value the relationships you’ve built. No matter who you’re dealing with, always be respectful and kind. As you grow in your career, you are sure to cross paths with people you’ve worked with previously, and you never know how someone could positively or negatively impact your success/failure.
