What makes a great recruiter and how can you discover whether the person you're interviewing is one or not? That's the theme of today'sMike Ames Recruitment Show. Over the years I've employed well over 100 recruiters and estimate I've interviewed over 1000. I've learned some very hard lessons along the way (some cost me a lot of money). But I believe it comes down to a handful of characteristics and some key interview questions to bring them out. So we start by exploring the characteristics I believe all great recruiters have. Then we give you some questions that you can ask in interviews that may help discover whether they will be able to cut it or not. We all know how expensive it is in time, money and distraction if you hire the wrong people – this show should help keep these to a minimum. 

Founder/CXO of Great Recruiters, Adam Conrad and CEO of TravCon/ The Gypsy Nurse Steve Curtin, focus on best practices on how recruiters and travelers can effectively work together in a market with lower bill rates, and fewer jobs while setting proper expectations for opportunities, pay, communication frequency, and more!

Fortunately, social media has revolutionized the recruitment landscape, providing recruiters a powerful platform to connect with potential candidates, build their brand, and establish relationships with active and passive job seekers. By leveraging the right social media platforms and strategies, recruiters can go beyond traditional cold outreach methods and establish themselves as thought leaders and industry experts in their respective fields, leading to a stronger employer brand and a more efficient and effective recruitment process. In this episode, we are joined by Joel Lalgee, the Realest Recruiter, who teaches recruitment teams how to win on social media, to talk about building successful recruiting brands on social media. Joel shares how he built a successful brand in a few years, tips for growing your recruiting brand on LinkedIn and TikTok, and the non-negotiables for successful recruiters.

Adam is a part of a tale as old as time. He fell into the business and recruiting very quickly and just as quickly fell in love with it; however, like with so many love affairs, the honeymoon period had to come to an end. As it did, Adam noticed cracks and fissures in the industry, so industriously he took his 20+ years of experience and found a way to fill them with his founding of Great Recruiters. The pillars upon which he built this business mirror the values of ours! Join us in this conversation as it progresses from comparing playbooks to finishing each other's sentences... how cute! Speaking of cute, Adam is married to a nurse, so this paring just keeps getting sweeter. We're all in on Adam (aka C-rad), and we know you will be too! #BehindTheScrubs #TheTravelNurseExperience

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones rap about last week's ASA Staffing World conference and all the great keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking from Denver. Later in the episode, the dynamic duo are joined by Dominic Vogel, Cybersecurity expert, influencer, podcaster, and founder of Cyber.sc, an advisory service for startups, investors, and SMEs. After recently experiencing a serious security breach in her own business, a traumatized Jones got in touch with Vogel, who helped her navigate the rather stressful situation. The trio discusses the current state of cybercrime and the fact that every business, no matter the size, now finds itself firmly in the crosshairs. Vogel goes on to run through the three main steps that form a solid cybersecurity action plan: prevention, early detection, and rapid response. The crew also chats about: The three cyber hygiene practices that should form the basis of every firm's cybersecurity plan The concept of ‘offline survivability', and why it's important Why almost every enterprise business handles data breaches poorly (and how they can do better) Why feeding goats electronic components isn't an effective response to a security breach Check out the episode to learn more.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones rap about the recent acquisition of WorkN by Avionte and how digital transformation can be enabled by empowering the right team members. Later the dynamic duo are joined by Kate Rutherford, Senior Digital Transformation Manager at Loyal Source, an Orlando-based workforce solutions company specializing in healthcare and technology. Prior to her current position, Rutherford cut her teeth at one of the largest staffing firms in the nation (a practice that a large chunk of the staffing industry will be familiar with), and has occupied most chairs in the office, from recruiter to business development manager to director. The trio discusses the intimidation that many feel in regards to digital transformation, but how a number of strategies can help to reduce the risk of being overwhelmed. They argue that it's perhaps a less technical prospect than many assume and that digital transformation strategy shouldn't actually be left in the hands of the IT department, but rather in the hands of those who trade the technical for the tangible. They also chat about: Why Google and Apple are increasingly filling technical roles with liberal arts graduates. Why conversation is half the battle in digital transformation, and how collaboration can get you 90% there. Why you should expect the same of your vendors as your customers expect of you.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by Tom Nehila, CFO of The Global Trust Project, a non-profit startup that aims to protect the world's personal information from those who might seek to do harm with it or make profit from it. Prior to his current position, Nehila was a staffing finance veteran who had worked with some of the biggest companies in the industry. Here Mann, Jones, and Nehila discuss the undeserved reputation of finance departments within staffing and recruiting firms. They look at how the role of finance is often misunderstood: how these teams are often seen as ‘no' people, an organizational anchor dragging along the seafloor, but how in reality they're more akin to the ship's navigator, tasked with charting a safe and profitable course. The crew also chats about: How Netflix has nailed the trust and transparency needed for financial success. Finance as the pragmatic partner that every technology professional needs. Why ‘procurement' feels like the ‘Voldemort' of staffing. The preference of ‘ginormous' over ‘huge' for a certain New Jersian. Check out the episode to learn more.

In this episode, David Folwell, the President of StaffingHub, interviews Adam Conrad, the founder of [Great Recruiters](http://www.greatrecruiters.com), on the impact of the pandemic on the staffing industry, how to stay connected with your team when recruiting remotely, and the new face of the digital transformation.

Recruiting recruiters that are an asset to your business can be challenging. Attracting the right candidates for the position and assessing their competency is no easy task. Retention and longevity of staff seem to be the Achilles heel of the industry. That begs the question, how do we attract, develop, and retrain great recruiters? Is there a secret method that recruitment firms are missing?  Shaun McCambridge with Stellar Recruiting based in Brisbane, Australia joins me to discuss the method they've found most successful for recruiting recruiters. We'll talk about why Shaun started Stellar Recruitment, what he believes the key to their success is, developing genuine relationships with clients—and how to hire and retain the right people for your team. Outline of This Episode [2:33] Why did Shaun McCambridge start Stellar Recruitment? [5:26] Client partnerships is a key element of their success [7:35] How Stellar created longstanding partnerships [13:06] Increasing retention and longevity of staff [17:47] Attributes Shaun looks for when hiring recruiters [19:21] Assessing character during the interview process [22:45] Measuring performance after 12 months [31:15] Shaun's journey with personal development [33:49] What inspired Shaun to start his podcast?  [35:50] The importance of mindset over talent and ability [39:16] The ‘20,000 Lives Changed' campaign [42:15] Stoic philosophy thought for the day The key to creating longstanding partnerships with clients Shaun believes that one of the largest factors that differentiate them in the industry is the relationship they build with their clients. 3 of their clients have worked with them from day one— for the last 14 years. Shaun points out that many recruiters can be transactional and focused on ‘closing the deal'. At Stellar, they strive to be genuine and honest while delivering on the promises they've made to their clients. Everything they do is relationship-based and they focus on remembering that they are engaging in human-to-human personalized interaction.  In my experience, many of the recruiters I've worked with are experienced professionals who are genuine and honest. While there are some bad actors in the industry, I've found that many of the transactional recruiters are inexperienced. They are put under immense pressure to perform, to bring in revenue without the proper support or training. Shaun doesn't want this transactional dynamic in his business, which is why he places high importance on developing and training his recruiters properly. Keep listening as we discuss his methods.  The secret to decreasing turnover and improving staff retention Shaun was fortunate to start his career with Hays, where he learned the ins-and-outs of the sales world among a group of like-minded competitors. When he left, his goal was to replicate the high-performing culture he experienced there in Stellar Recruitment. Retaining a core group of recruiters can be a powerful force in your business. With this goal in mind, he sought to create a culture where their recruiters feel empowered and challenged. They emphasize on-the-job training in their particular methods. They also provide organizational psychologists on staff to coach team members. They believe ongoing development and training is essential to longevity. Stellar helps their recruiters map out their career paths and implement personal goals that coincide with professional goals. Shaun stated that “Stellar should be a vehicle to achieve outside of work”. Finding fulfillment in their roles with personal and professional impact is key to retention. Shaun also stands by the practice of promoting from within. Making progress and growing through the ranks leads to engagement which Shaun points out leads to retention.  Recruiting recruiters: Assessing attributes of a candidate during the interview process There are 3 attributes that Shaun looks for when they're hiring new staff: character, competitiveness, and above-average intelligence. They want to hire people who are nice human beings that treat people well. But they also want to hire people who are driven and competitive, with a desire to win, succeed, and challenge themselves. People with above-average intelligence tend to be more coachable and capable of articulate conversations. They also try to ascertain whether or not the candidates stack up against their values (greatness, positivity, and leadership).  I was curious—how do they assess some of those character attributes during the interview process? Shaun stated that they observe candidates from the moment they walk into the building. Were they polite and friendly with administrative staff? How are they conducting themselves? They also utilize a 4-step interview process where you can see how they interact with hiring managers and other staff. If there are any “holes” in their stories, they become apparent through this lengthy process.  They also use targeted and specific questions to gauge the character of candidates. One question they like to use is, “What was your relationship with your previous supervisor?”. Some potential hires throw their bosses under-the-bus, which is a clear indicator they didn't value that relationship. They have a tried and true series of questions to gauge the fit of the candidate. Shaun admits that it isn't 100% foolproof, but they've found great success with their model.  A unique way to judge performance  Numbers are important in this industry and it is imperative that you're reaching your goals. However, Stellar Recruitment measures against another benchmark they find just as important—client satisfaction. They use Setmetrics to track performance and routinely have clients complete surveys to gauge satisfaction. Customer service in the industry can be poor, so they've found that placing importance on it sets them apart. News travels fast if you aren't performing and aren't keeping your clients happy. So they've become passionate about customer service.  They also use metrics to track engagement with their recruiters. If they're underperforming, or their interaction with clients is leading to a low satisfaction survey score, it's a warning sign. They use internal surveys to monitor their staff and if there are engagement issues they can remedy them. They want to be sure that their recruiters are still enjoying their work and being challenged.  Shaun and I agree that the best recruiters embrace a growth mindset and that it is critical to success. Those with a growth mindset are resilient, believe in themselves, and embrace challenges as a means of learning and pushing forward in their career.

In this episode, Staffing Hub Editor-in-Chief Caitlin Delohery interviews Adam Conrad, a veteran recruiter and founder of [Great Recruiters](https://www.greatrecruiters.com/), a job candidate and reputation management platform specifically designed for recruiters and staffing firms. Adam brings 18 years of recruiting to the table and a powerful desire to change the recruiter stereotype. Recruiters have been getting a bad rap for decades. You might have heard recruiters are slow to respond or they make job promises they can't keep. And while you know this isn't even close to the full picture, Adam brings practical advice on how to authentically humanize recruiters and the recruiting process. Hint: it takes a little bravery and a lot of active listening. (Oh, and coaching Little League might help, too.)
