In a world so heavily reliant on digital communication, it can be difficult to meet new people, so many turn to dating apps to connect with other singles.

Who one is online does not always align with who they are in real life; a problem that extends far beyond romantic relationships. As employers, how do we find the right candidate, the perfect match?

Similarly, employers looking for long-term, reliable employees prefer hiring candidates who won't grow tired of lengthy commutes or face transportation challenges during harsh New England winters.
