But what if we take that concept to our recruiting efforts - regardless of hiring a new employee, adding someone to our team, or getting a new ensemble member?

Our brain has the unique ability to put different notes together and hear them in harmony, even if the instruments are entirely out of tune. That also happens in real life.
