The Resilient Recruiter
3 Smart Revenue Streams That Separate Top Recruiting Firms From the Rest

The Resilient Recruiter

What does it take to build a recruiting firm that survives three recessions, operates across borders, and thrives without retainers? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we spotlight David Fishman, founder of Sparrow Company—a bi-national executive search and staffing firm based in both the U.S. and Mexico. David shares how he rebuilt after nearly losing everything in 2009 and developed a resilient, multi-revenue business that consistently closes $30K+ deals on contingency. With a team of 12 and placements ranging from hourly plant workers to C-suite executives, David proves that long-term success in recruiting isn't about flashy tech or a narrow niche—it's about grit, loyalty, smart diversification, and building client trust. Whether you're a firm owner, solo operator, or team leader, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, act faster, and future-proof your business model. Episode Highlights: [2:30] Why David's recruiting journey started with a family staffing business and a Coast Guard exit [7:00] How the 2009 recession nearly wiped him out—and what it took to survive [16:00] Expanding into Mexico: a single client request that changed everything [24:00] Building a binational team and training his kids to become recruiters [36:00] Why he's not retained (yet), and how he consistently closes $30K+ fees on contingency [47:00] How Sparrow places both plant supervisors and presidents using the same recruiting mechanics [1:06:00] David's multiple revenue streams: recruiting projects, temp staffing, nearshore talent [1:13:00] Why impulsivity is his superpower and what legacy he wants to leave behind Why Diversification is Non-Negotiable After nearly losing his business during the 2009 downturn, David made a key decision: stop relying on one industry or one type of placement. Today, Sparrow Company operates across manufacturing, engineering, mining, supply chain, and IT—placing roles at all levels across North America and Europe. Key takeaway for recruiters: Think beyond niche. Build a multi-layered model across industry, function, level, and geography. 3 Revenue Streams Every Recruiting Firm Owner Should Know To protect against market shifts and add recurring income, David built three revenue lines: Embedded recruiters on short-term contracts Temporary staffing through a dedicated local firm Contract engineers working remotely from Mexico for U.S. clients These offerings helped him scale sustainably, stabilize cash flow, and serve clients more deeply. “Every time we add a new service, it helps us survive another economic cycle.” How to Close $30K+ Deals Without Retainers David works 100% on contingency—but trains his clients to expect fewer resumes and faster, more precise matches. His firm is known for first-candidate hires and high-level execution without the upfront fees. “I'm not retained, but I'm still beating the firms that are. Because I'm hungrier.” About David Fishman David Fishman is the founder of Sparrow Company, a bi-national staffing and executive search firm incorporated in the United States and Mexico. With 30+ years in recruiting, he's placed CEO, CFO, VP, Director, Plant Manager, and Engineering roles across global manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and Tier-One automotive clients. Sparrow's clients include publicly traded multinationals, private equity-backed firms, and international companies operating across the U.S., Mexico, Switzerland, and Germany. David is a member of the Pinnacle Society, recognized by the California Staffing Professionals Association as Staffing Professional of the Year, and frequently speaks on recruiting best practices and production hiring. In 2022, he launched a traditional temporary staffing firm serving the El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM region.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a regulation designed to enhance cybersecurity for products mainly sold in Europe. It establishes common cybersecurity standards for hardware and software, requiring manufacturers to build security into their products from design through the products' complete lifecycle. It's this latter concept that can be troubling, as sometimes devices stay in use for a long, long time. So what's a manufacturer to do?

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University and with joining me today is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! In our last episode, we gave you a broad overview of the Oracle Cloud Success Navigator platform—what it is, how it works, and its key features and benefits. Today, we're continuing that discussion with Mitchell Flinn. Mitchell is VP of Program Management for Oracle Cloud Success Navigator, and in this episode, we're going to ask him to walk us through some of the core components of the platform that we couldn't get into last week. 01:04 Lois: Right, Niki. Hi Mitchell! You spoke a little about Cloud Quality Standards in our last episode. But how do they contribute or align with the vision of Oracle Cloud Success Navigator?  Mitchell: The vision for Navigator is to support customers throughout every phase of their cloud journey, providing timely advice to help improve outcomes to reduce cost and increase overall value. This model is driven through Oracle Cloud Quality Standards. These standards are intended to improve the transparency and collaboration between customer, partner, and Oracle members of a project. This is a project blueprint to include the ability for business and IT users to align on project coordination, expectations, and ultimately drive tighter alignment. Tracking key milestones and activities can help visualize and measure progress. You can build assessments and help answer questions so that at the right time, you have the right resources to make the right decisions for an organization. Cloud Quality Standards represent the key milestone dates and accomplishments along the journey. You can leverage these to increase project transparency, reduce risk, and increase the overall collaboration. Cloud Quality Standards are proactive list of must haves leveraged by customers, partners, and Oracle. They're a collection of knowledge and lessons learned from thousands of implementations globally. Cloud Quality Standards are partner agnostic and complimentary to all SI methodologies and tool sets. And they've been identified to address delivery issues before they happen and reduce the risk of implementations. 02:34 Lois: Ok, and a crucial component of Oracle Cloud Success Navigator is Oracle Modern Best Practice, or OMBP, right? Can you tell us more about what this is?  Mitchell: Oracle Modern Best Practices are based on distilled knowledge of our customers' needs gained from 10,000 successful delivery projects. They illustrate the business process components and their optimization to take advantage of the latest Oracle applications and technologies. Oracle Modern Best Practices comprise industry best practices and processes powered by Oracle technology. Engineered in Fusion Applications, OMBPs simplify and streamline workflows. They enable organizations to leverage modern, efficient, and scalable practices. As we align our assets with OMBPs, there's a stronger connection between global process owners and business process innovation within a customer's organization. 03:21 Nikita: And how do they help deliver end-to-end success for businesses?  Mitchell: An OMBP approach involves a digital business process, so evolving and adapting in real time to changing market dynamics. End-to-end across the organization, so we're breaking down silos and ensuring there's operational agility and a seamless collaboration between departments. We're leveraging emerging technologies, so utilizing AI, other cutting-edge technologies to automate routine tasks, enabling greater human creativity and unlocking new value and insights. And radically superior results, driving a significant improvement in measurable outcomes. OMBPs are dynamic, and when regularly updated, they meet evolving customer needs and technologies. They're trusted, tested, and validated by Oracle experts and publicly available and download on oracle.com. If you go to oracle.com and search modern best practice, you'll find more detailed introduction to Oracle Modern Best Practices. You'll also find Oracle Modern Best Practice business processes for domains such as ERP, EPM, Supply Chain, HCM, and Customer  Experience. We also have Oracle Modern Best Practices for specific industries. 04:25 Nikita: What are the key benefits of OMBP? Mitchell: Revolutionary new technologies are available for organizations and business leaders. You might wonder how existing business processes are optimized with old technology and how they can drive the best solution. With more emerging technologies reaching commercial availability, existing best practices become outdated. And to stay competitive, organizations need to continuously innovate and incorporate new technology within their best practices. In Oracle's definition of OMBPs, common business processes are considered historic input, but we also factor in what could be done with new technologies. And based on this approach, Oracle Modern Best Practices help us evolve with the organizational needs as market dynamics change, work end to end across organizations to eliminate department silos and ensure agility. It allows us to use technologies such as AI to automate the mundane and unlock human creativity for new value and insight. This allows us to incorporate next generation digital technologies to enable radically superior, measurable results. To achieve these, Oracle makes use of key differentiators such as analytics and AI and machine learning. Analytics are also known as business intelligence provides you with information in the form of pre-built dashboards, showing your key metrics in real time. Embedded analytic capabilities enable you to monitor business performance and make better decisions. 05:44 Lois: And what about AI and machine learning? Mitchell: These focus on building systems that learn or improve performance based on the data that they consume. Smart digital assistants, recommendation engines, predictive analytics, they're all used within AI and machine learning to help organizations automate operations and drive innovation, and ultimately make better decisions faster. 06:02 Nikita: Mitchell, let's move on to the Starter Configuration. Can you explain what it is and how it helps during a cloud implementation? Mitchell: Starter Configuration is a predefined configuration of Oracle Cloud Applications aligned with the Oracle Modern Best Practices. It's very comprehensive and includes business processes in several domains, such as ERP, HCM, Supply Chain, EPM, and so on. It includes sample, master, and transactional data, and predetermined usernames, which aligns and tests based on the same use cases you saw in Oracle Modern Best Practices in Cloud Success Navigator. Customers can request deployment of a Starter Configuration into their test environment. Oracle will run an automated process for replicating the configuration, master data, transaction data, and predetermined usernames from Oracle to the Oracle Cloud Applications Test Environment of the customer's choice. For best user experience, customers can add a basic level of personalization, such as their customer name, limited number of employees, suppliers, customers, and a few other items. Starter Configuration's delivered with predetermined step guides for comprehensive set of use cases. Using these, customers can relay the same use cases they've seen in Oracle Modern Best Practices and Success Navigator. In the Oracle Cloud Applications Test Environment Customer, we've been able to enable an in-app guidance using Oracle Guided Learning. This helps to make it easier for navigation through the business processes supported by the application. Oracle can deploy the Starter Configuration in days, not weeks or months, which means the implementation partners don't need to invest time and effort for the first configuration of an Oracle Cloud Application environment before they can even get the chance to show it to a customer. In turn, once Starter Configuration is deployed, it's ready to be used for solution familiarization and design activities. Using Starter Configuration of Oracle Cloud Applications early in the cloud journey will offer several benefits to customers. 08:00 Lois: What are these benefits? Mitchell: The first, it helps to cut down on environment configuration time from several weeks or months to potentially just days. Next, implementation partners can engage stakeholders early, and get them familiar with Oracle Cloud Applications, especially those that maybe have never participated in the sales cycle. Because customer stakeholders actually see what Oracle Cloud solutions might look like in the future, it becomes easier to take design decisions. Starter Configuration provides hands-on familiarization with Oracle Cloud Applications and Oracle Leading Practices. This makes it easier to understand what leading practices and standard features can be adopted to support future business processes. It also reduces the level of customization and accelerates implementation. 08:45 Transform the way you work with Oracle Database 23ai! This cutting-edge technology brings the power of AI directly to your data, making it easier to build powerful applications and manage critical workloads. Want to learn more about Database 23ai? Visit mylearn.oracle.com to pick from our range of courses and enroll today!   09:10 Nikita: Welcome back! Mitchell, how can customers and implementation partners best use the Starter Configuration?  Mitchell: Customers and implementation partners will work in close collaboration to make the implementation successful. Hence, Oracle recommends that customers and implementation partner discuss how the best use of Starter Configuration will take place. This is one of the key activities in the mobilize stage of the cloud journey. First, Oracle recommends to use Starter Configuration to prepare the customer stakeholders for the project. Customer stakeholders who participate in the project should go to the Oracle Modern Best Practice section of Success Navigator platform in order to learn more about the modern best practices, business processes, personas, leading practices, and use cases. Project team can request Starter Configuration early in the project to allow customer stakeholders to get their hands-on experience with performing use cases in the Starter Configuration. Customer stakeholders will perform use cases in Starter Config to learn more about modern best practices. They'll use the step-by-step guides and Guided Learning to easily perform the use cases within the Starter Configuration. This is how they'll visualize use cases in Oracle Cloud Applications and get a good understanding of Oracle Modern Best Practices. Next, mobilize stage of the journey, project team can use Starter Configuration to visualize the solution and make design decisions with confidence. First, by requesting Starter Configuration, implementation partners can engage stakeholders early and create the space to get familiar with Oracle Applications. This applies especially to those that may have not participated during the sales cycle. You could personalize Starter Configuration to enhance the user experience to help the customer connect to the application and, for example, change the company name, the logo, few supplier names, customer names, employee names, etc. And implementation partners are going to be able to run sessions to familiarize the customer with modern best practices and show how cloud applications support use cases. For structured guidance, the implementation partners can use the step guides. It includes screenshots of OGL within cloud applications environments. And you could run design workshop and use Starter Configuration, show and explain which design decisions must take place to define a customer-centric configuration. Finally, you can show use cases that help you explain what the impact of design decisions might be. 11:20 Lois: Mitchell, before we wrap up, can you take us through how the Release Readiness features facilitate innovation?  Mitchell: In order to innovate with the Release Readiness features, it's important to learn about the new features in a one-stop shop, and then connect with the capability. The first item is to be able to find and familiarize yourself with the content as they exist within Release Notes. From there, it's important to be able to actually experience those items by looking at the text, and pictures, and the Oracle University videos that we provide in the Feature Overviews, as well as additional capabilities that will be coming with the Navigator in the preview environment, your ability to get your hands on in a demo experience through Cloud Success Navigator. Furthermore, it's important for you to be able to explore across theme-based items, which we call Adoption Centers, currently ready for AI in Redwood. This gives you the ability to span across Release Notes and different releases in order to understand the themes of the trends around AI and Redwood, and how those capabilities in our technology can advance your innovation in the Cloud. And finally, you need to be able to understand those opportunities based off of business processes, data insights, and industry benchmarks. That way, you can understand the capabilities as they exist, not just for your business specifically, but in the context of the broader industry and technology trends. From there, it's important for you to then think about your ability to collaborate to drive continuous innovation. We want to be able to leverage Cloud Success Navigator to drive collaboration to increase confidence across all members of the project team, whether it be you as a customer, our partners, or the Oracle team. It should also be able to drive an increased efficiency within decision making, driving greater value and readiness as you think about the proposed adoption changes. Finally, we want to think about the ability to reduce cycles related to features and decisions so that you can more quickly adapt, and adjust, and consume innovations as they're produced on a quarterly basis.  13:09 Nikita: I think we can end with that. Thank you so much, Mitchell, for taking us through the Navigator platform.

In his classic essay on the fear of breakdown, Donald Winnicott famously conveys to a patient that the disaster powerfully feared has, in fact, already happened. Taking her cue from Winnicott, Noëlle McAfee's Fear of Breakdown: Psychoanalysis and Politics (Columbia University Press, 2019), explores the implications of breakdown fears for the practice of democracy. Democracy, as you may dimly recall, demands the capacity to bear difference, tolerate loss, and to speak into the unknown. Meanwhile we have come to live in a world where, if my clinical practice and personal life are any indication, people often prefer writing to speaking. Patients who want to make a schedule change--never a neutral event in psychoanalysis—write me. I say, addressing the resistance, “This is a talking cure. Get your money's worth. Speak!” Among intimates, bad news is something I too often read about. I surmise that in speaking desire or conveying pain, a fantasized recipient is sought, an ideal listener, who, like a blow up doll lover can be invoked, controlled and then deflated at will. Circling back to difference and loss, ideas that do not mirror our already existing thoughts find themselves batted out of the park to an elsewhere not worth enunciating. Cultivating a protective bubble—such a heartbreak right?  It seems there is something about democracy that frightens the shit out of us. Deploying the work of Winnicott, Klein, Green and Kristeva, Mcafee reminds us of our original loss—what she calls “plenum”. That loss, to the degree it is recognized, initiates our undoing. Mother's other—be it her lover, her piano lessons, a visit to the dentist for a cavity—tears a hole in our emotional shield. In her wake, we cling to seemingly strong leaders, a father, or failing that potent ideologies reeking of misogyny, all the while hoping for compensation for an unfathomable loss. Embedded within democracy lies the demand that we see other than ourselves. This demand challenges the thin-skinned among us. And all of us are thin-skinned from time to time. How to manage? Mcafee adds her voice to the popular chorus of those practicing applied psychoanalysis and suggests we embrace mourning. It is an inarguable position yet also nice work if you can get it! Of course, with the original disaster elided, like sleepwalkers in our night fog, we will helplessly seek it out; worse, we will make it manifest, with a vengeance. What is not remembered gets repeated. Trapped in America, as I am, one wonders about democracy. What might lure us to revisit the sight of the disaster, “the thing itself',” to quote Adrienne Rich, “and not the myth?” Learn more about your ad choices.

While most autonomous vehicle focus is on the automobile, Mozee is going in a slightly different direction, no pun intended. Mozee is focused on autonomous buses, or vehicles that transport large numbers of people. As you might expect, such a system has its challenges, in addition to those typically associated with an automobile. What makes the company's solution different is that it operates in real-time, without the need for “pre-mapping” the city in which the vehicle travels. It does this through its AI engine.

We continue our lease accounting podcast miniseries with an episode focused on embedded leases. Some arrangements to provide services or purchase inventory rely on the use of a specific asset to fulfill the contract. Even if the word “lease” doesn't appear, the rights conveyed to the customer may still meet the definition of a lease—shifting the transaction from simply purchasing services or goods to leasing an asset.

Send us a textRevenue-based financing. Embedded capital. Two sides of the same fintech coin—but scaling one is way harder than building the other.In this episode, Amy Loh breaks down how Pipe navigated a major product pivot without losing its mission, voice, or growth momentum. From her time building verticalised marketing engines at Square to scaling a lean team at Pipe, Amy shares how to make your marketing work smarter—especially when you're not the one pressing send.If you're growing a fintech inside a fintech (B2B2B marketers, we're looking at you), this one's a must-listen.Key TakeawaysPivot ≠ identity crisis. Pipe moved from direct lending to embedded finance—but the mission stayed the same: empower SMBs with accessible capital. Amy shares how that North Star keeps the brand tight, even as the model shifts.You're not just B2B—you're B2B2B. Pipe sells to platforms, but serves SMBs. That means building trust on both sides of the chain—and tailoring value props to each.Your partners are your marketing channel. With no direct user contact, Pipe depends on platforms to deliver offers and drive awareness. Amy explains how they make co-marketing work (and where it gets tricky).Great content starts with real conversations. Monthly call-listening sessions give the Pipe team unfiltered insight from support and sales. That's where the best ideas (and campaign angles) start.LinkedIn is the MVP. For high-value ABM and thought leadership, Pipe leans hard into LinkedIn—and tailors messaging for every role in the decision-making chain.Events are back—and better than ever. From curated fireside chats to post-event content playbooks, Amy shares how they're turning in-person moments into long-tail marketing wins.AI is a force multiplier—not a shortcut. From faster research to stronger insights, Amy's betting on AI to 10x her team's output—not replace it.Key Points- Building a Brand Through a PivotPipe's business changed—but its purpose didn't. Amy shares how to reposition a fintech without losing your soul.- Marketing Through a Partner's CRMAmy pulls back the curtain on the operational (and emotional) challenges of running lifecycle campaigns through partner platforms.- Why Events Still MatterPipe's content flywheel starts with IRL experiences. Here's how they turn one night into months of marketing ammo.“Offline events create the moments—our job is to scale them.”- The Square EffectFrom hair salons to hardware stores, Amy helped Square crack vertical marketing at scale. Now she's bringing that same depth of customer understanding to Pipe's channel strategy.“How capital is used is universal—but how it's perceived? That's deeply local.”- Making ABM Actually WorkPipe's ABM strategy goes deep, not wide. Amy walks through how her team runs high-impact campaigns on a limited budget—with help from sales.“It's not about attribution. It's about account engagement, signals, and meeting readiness.”- AI's Real RoleSpoiler: It's not writing all your ads.

From the 5th to the 11th centuries, Anglo‑Saxon England was shaped by a rich tapestry of religion and magic: early on, villagers and warriors honored a polytheistic pagan pantheon—Wōden, Thunor, Tīw, Frīge—worshipped in groves, springs, and timber sanctuaries, alongside a belief in spirits such as elves and dwarfs.Embedded in daily life were practices of magico‑medicinal healing and protective charms—meticulously recorded in manuscripts like Bald's Leechbook and the Lacnunga, exemplified by the Nine Herbs Charm As Christianity spread from the 7th century onwards, pagan rites and witchcraft—terms rooted in Old English words like wicca and hæġtesse—were increasingly criminalised by church law codes and royal decrees Yet, despite official condemnation, folk magic persisted, practiced by “cunning folk” renowned for healing and charms, forging a syncretic culture at the crossroads of ancient pagan customs and emerging Christian norms

Embedded finance offers a chance for fintech firms, vertical SaaS companies, and marketplaces to drive revenue growth and build a sticky offering.  Always strapped for cash and with their owners juggling multiple responsibilities at once, small businesses increasingly adopt vertical SaaS platforms to run their operations, the demand for integrated banking, payments, and lending solutions continues to accelerate.   For firms that can successfully navigate this landscape, embedded finance offers a powerful pathway to differentiation in an increasingly competitive market while addressing the critical financial needs that traditional institutions have struggled to meet effectively. On the show today, I am joined by three leaders in the space sharing insights into what it takes to succeed: Yoseph West, Co-founder and CEO of Relay which is a digital business banking platform serving SMBs, Sol Lax, CEO of Revenued, a leader in revenued-based financing and  Caleb Avery, founder and CEO of Tilled, a modern embedded payments provider for software companies Tune in to hear us plot the market shift from embedded payments to lending, underwriting challenges for thin-file customers, and strategic partnership models that create comprehensive solutions for small businesses.  In this episode we will examine two case studies: how  Relay and Tilled are implementing embedded lending in their platforms through their work Revenued and sketch out a plan for fintechs that want to mature their embedded finance offerings to offer sophisticated products like lending and working capital to their SMB customers. If you're a platform serving SMBs, embedded lending isn't just a feature – it's a way to make your product indispensable.  As customers look for financial solutions that meet them where they are, platforms that deliver seamless, flexible capital access will win.

I found that breath, movement, and focus have to be together. The mind is at the bottom of the feet. This practice is for standing up. Attach a movement to one of those already pre-made behaviors.

He was a gutsy old man.” “A corker,” said another. “You couldn’t find anyone better.” They talked about him in hushed tones. “This Major Carlson,” wrote one of the officers in a letter home, “is one of the finest men I have ever known.”These were the words of the young Marines training to be among the first U.S. troops to enter the Second World War—and the Major Carlson they spoke of was Evans Carlson, a man of mythical status even before the war that would make him a military legend.By December of 1941, at the age of forty-five, Carlson had already faced off against Sandinistas in the jungles of Nicaragua and served multiple tours in China, where he embedded with Mao’s Communist forces during the Sino-Japanese War. Inspired by their guerilla tactics and their collaborative spirit—which he’d call “gung ho,” introducing the term to the English language—and driven by his own Emersonian ideals of self-reliance, Carlson would go on to form his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of today’s special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Makin Island and Guadalcanal, showing Americans a new way to do battle.Today’s guest is Stephen R. Platt, author of “ “The Raider: The Untold Story of a Renegade Marine and the Birth of U.S. Special Forces in World War II.” Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man’s awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
