When 9/11 happened, Jared Coseglia had to give up his career as a theatre director and landed an admin job in a recruitment company. Twenty years later, he's the CEO of an award-winning staffing business that not only survived but actually thrived during the pandemic.  In this interview, Jared shares his experience of building a highly successful recruiting and staffing company. One of the keys to growing your recruitment business is identifying, recruiting, mentoring and retaining the best people.  Jared gave specific suggestions on how to recruit recruiters and then create an environment where they can achieve their potential.  He also revealed his secrets to building a brand through thought-leadership and PR.  Jared is the founder and CEO of TRU Staffing Partners, an award-winning staffing company representing talent and opportunities in the data privacy, e-discovery, and cybersecurity verticals since 2010. Jared has successfully placed over 3000 professionals in full-time and temporary positions at the Fortune 1000, Am Law 200, and throughout the global consultancy, service and software provider community. His ability to identify, deliver, mentor, and help retain talent has given him the privilege of quickly becoming the globally recognized “go-to” individual for hiring managers and job seekers in need of staffing solutions or career guidance and management in legal technology and data protection. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:16] From being a theatre director to becoming a recruiter. [7:54] Two valuable tips on candidate preparation - Jared shared how he preps his candidates from a director's perspective. [12:13] Growing a business from scratch and becoming a market leader [17:56] The benefits of the contract staffing business model. [22:00] Temporary staffing and retained executive search - how to do both! [29:20] Leadership advice: painting a picture and being a visionary. [31:10] Hear two pointers in successfully recruiting recruiters.  [38:00] How sincerity and caring for people have contributed to TRU Staffing Partners' success. [41:03] Mentoring your staff - making yourself available to your employees [46:30] How to respond when people in your organization make mistakes. [50:11] The importance of hiring agents and experts. Transferring Skills as a Theatre Director to Talent Representation and Interview Preparation Jared started his career in the theatre industry - which sadly became difficult when 9/11 happened. He then shifted to the recruitment and staffing business, which he started as a temp doing admin tasks. He eventually learned to source and successfully applied the skills he developed in the theatre. As Jared said, “I likened it to casting. Because when you're a director you're always casting shows. I do think there are quite a lot of similarities to being a theatre director where at the end of the day your mission is to harmonize the human capital of all the different disciplines that go into making the work of art.”  Aside from the comparison of sourcing to casting, he also believes that clarity and articulation of thoughts, as well as appreciation and access of the human condition from the inside, contributed greatly to his success, which he gives credit to his theatre background. Prepping Your Candidates How do you prep your candidates to set them up for success? Jared shared a lot of commonalities with his previous career in the theatre. Some key pointers are: Know the audience Help the candidate shape his performance for that audience It is not just a knowledge transfer, but also creating a safe space for people to make mistakes.  Jared explained, “Think of it this way, when you're an actor, you have ideas. But mainly you don't share those ideas or you don't try those ideas out on stage without permission. So a good rehearsal process, when you're a theatre director, is giving actors permission and creating a safe space for people to make mistakes, say the wrong things, try things that don't work so that you could guide them to the ones that do.” How to Successfully Recruit Recruiters When Jared was scaling his business, he recognized the challenge in hiring skilled recruiters. He actually hired around one-third of his people through an agency. He also revealed some of his secrets to acquiring great talents. In his words, “You have to find great people to invest in at a young point in their career, not age, but a young point in their career in this space.” He backed up his advice by sharing amazing real-life examples of people he's hired. Jared argued that recruiting for your team is somewhat similar to doing improv. “You know there is a saying in theatre, that when you're doing improvisation, you have to say yes.” He then elaborated on how saying “yes” applies to recruiting good recruiters.

For nearly the past twenty-five years, Jeroen Plink worked on the cutting edge of innovation in the legal market ranging from creating software to help with project management and process improvement, to being the CEO of Clifford Chance Applied Solutions. His passion for looking at issues from unique perspectives, as well as his dislike for inefficient processes and waste, has led to a number of successes in legal innovation during this time. As he moves on from the Alternative Legal Service Provider environment and begins his new journey, Jeroen sits down with us to talk about his efforts going forward in access to justice, commercial ideas, consulting with law firms, and in-house operations. Information Inspirations The idea of law firms going with a "single provider" on legal information platforms like Westlaw or Lexis may sound good on paper, but Victoria Hudgens points out in a recent LegalTech News article that these 'one-stop shops' limit the ingenuity and capabilities of law firms. It takes a brave person to get between an appellate lawyer and their citation formatting rules. US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas apparently is one of those brave souls. With the use of "(cleaned up)" in the recent Brownback v. King decision, Thomas has created a stir in the legal citation world the likes that haven't been seen since the Court's first Internet citation changes in 1996. Blue Book Rule 5.2 and Brownback are at odds and according to a Law360 article from Carrie Garrison from Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, appellate lawyers may be taking sides.
