As a CEO and Founder at Intercare Recruitment, she specializes in matching top-tier healthcare professionals with leading medical institutions, ensuring that both clients and candidates find the perfect fit.Episode Outline and Highlights[01:53] From Poland, the UK, Dubai, and the US - Carolina's recruitment journey.[07:27] The mindset that helped Karolina be successful in a short space of time.[10:16] How to generate candidates by organizing events.[13:39] The initial challenges of going solo and starting a recruitment business.

Like many recruiters who aspire to build their business, she faced initial struggles and challenges along the way.Karolina faced significant challenges when launching her recruitment firm in Dubai. Although finding candidates was relatively easy due to her strong existing network, the complexities of navigating healthcare regulations and business development were major hurdles. Karolina and her husband had to secure clients from scratch. Their strategy involved relentless, in-person business development—visiting hospitals unannounced, persistently requesting meetings with HR directors and CEOs. Despite initial rejections, her research-driven approach, industry connections, and sheer determination eventually led to success, with her 13th hospital visit yielding their first major contract. However, cash flow management became another major struggle, as collecting payments from clients was a slow and challenging process. The legal system in the UAE made it difficult to enforce contracts, ultimately influencing her decision to explore opportunities outside the Middle East.When she moved to the US, the true breaking point came in 2022 when, after years of working for others, Karolina could no longer ignore her entrepreneurial drive. She had gained the necessary industry knowledge and confidence, but stepping away from the security of a full-time job was a daunting decision, especially as a mother of two young children with a mortgage to maintain. Despite the fear and financial pressure, she knew she had relaunched Intercare. With the unwavering support of her husband, she leaped, marking the start of Intercare's second chapter in the U.S.Building Key Differentiators as a Boutique FirmI wanted to focus on Intercare Recruitment's unique approach to providing the best solutions for its clients. Their service offering is retained and involves recruiting nurses internationally. “So what I call ourselves, we are kind of boutique companies, small, quality-focused, concierge type agencies. We really go beyond with our services. We really get on side with our clients.Here are some of their differentiators:International Nurse Recruitment Expertise – They have an extensive referral-based network in the Philippines and partnerships with nursing schools, allowing them to source top-tier talent efficiently.Comprehensive Candidate Support – Unlike most agencies, they assist candidates beyond job placement, handling immigration, flights, onboarding, Social Security, and even driving licenses to ensure a smooth transition.Nurse-Led Recruitment Team – Their recruiters are former nurses, which helps build trust with candidates and ensures a deeper understanding of the industry's needs.Retained, Upfront Payment Model – Instead of working on contingency, Intercare secures exclusive, retained contracts where clients pay upfront, covering immigration costs and reducing hiring risks.Extended Guarantee Period – They offer a 12-month guarantee, which is longer than industry standards, ensuring clients have long-term confidence in their hires.End-to-End Immigration Management – They fully integrate legal and immigration services into their process, partnering with immigration attorneys to handle all necessary paperwork.What are your key differentiators as a recruitment firm? How do you stand out from the competition? The key to getting retained clients is to show a unique solution that solves your client's problems that they can't get anywhere else.Overcoming the Recruiter's Paradox - Finding the Right Member of Your TeamKarolina shared best practices in her approach to building her team. She has now expanded to 10 members - 5 in the US, 5 in the Philippines. This growth allowed her to grow her revenue from $5K/month to $300K/month in six months! What are her key techniques in finding great team members?“I see people's motivation and ambition rather than skills. You can teach skills, but you cannot teach attitude.” Aside from doing a DISC assessment, they invest time in researching the candidate, from social media, LinkedIn, and conducting three to four steps interviews.Once the team member gets hired, they focus on empowering and coaching them. Extensive training and tools for recruiters are provided while providing all the support needed for them to succeed.

However, one of the gifts it has generated is this massive, even reflective, movement through quarantine. And so for the first time, we were all forced to look at ourselves and go inward. We couldn't have all the distractions to allow us to not do that. And when we looked inward and we realized that we haven't been working there, people were like, oh crap. Now what?  What do we do?''Resources mentioned in the show: The Infinite Game by Simon SinekAbout the host: Amy Lynn Durham is the Founder of Create Magic At Work™ and a Spiritual Intelligence Coach. Amy has spent years in the corporate world successfully managing hundreds of employees for private and publicly traded companies.

In this HRchat episode, we do a deep dive into the world of talent attraction and recruitment marketing to understand what worked pre-Covid and what's making a difference during The Great Resignation. Bill's guest this time is Jennifer Henley, an authority in recruitment solutions and consultative client services. As a candidate experience advisor with NAS Recruitment Innovation, she partners with talent acquisition leadership to optimize candidate attraction through storytelling, technology, and strategy. Jennifer is a featured speaker at HR communications industry conferences and events across the US and she possesses the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and SHRM-CP designations, a Six Sigma Lean Green Belt Certified (LGBC) professional and proud member of both NAHCR and SHRM.Questions For Jenn Include:The NAS Recruitment site suggests employment branding can lead to 50% more qualified applicants, decrease cost per hire by 43%, and reduce employee turnover by 28%. That seems like an attractive business case. Can you share more stats and trends HR can use to build their business case for investment in employer branding and recruitment marketing programs? It's much harder during this Great Resignation to attract top talent. What's changed when it comes to telling the story of a brand / attracting candidates and why? (demands of employees around e.g. flexible hours, DEI initiatives, remote work)"An astounding 94% of professional recruiters use social media in their talent recruitment efforts". Why does social media continue to play such an important role in employer branding and TA? Have you seen changes in which platforms get the most results when comparing Gen Zers with Millennials? Recruitment Marketing that still generates an ROI: What's working today? What tech, job boards, and other avenues are still getting results in the war for talent?NAS aims to "uncover a firm's employment value propositions and create an employment brand that serves as the centerpiece of your candidate attraction strategy". So my follow-up question is: How can companies position themselves as an attractive employer brand in 2022 and beyond? What are those 'PR efforts' that HR teams can support to demonstrate that the organization is the right destination for candidates? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.
