In fact, there were a few other volunteers in the tech club who shared with Frank the contacts of few other associates too. Finally, Frank could share the details of some of the qualified and interested candidates to Samuel in day. This helped Samuel to schedule virtual interviews on the next day and hire the remaining two resources and close the hiring process within two days.
