Podcasts about recruiting industry

It's a bonus episode this week, taken from Lunch with Haley.   Can you create demand for temporary staffing? Today, around 2% of non-farm employment are temporary jobs. With 25,000 staffing companies competing for that business, winning clients has become exceptionally hard. But what if you could create demand for staffing? What if you could help employers to fill a larger percentage of job openings with contingent workers? Some studies have projected that as much as 10% of non-farm jobs could be temporary jobs. That's 5x more staffing. Think about the impact that would have for your business! In this Lunch with Haley webinar, we're bringing together some of the top sales minds in the industry to talk about demand generation. We're going to look at the ways staffing can be used strategically to help companies to control labor costs, improve productivity, manage risk, and capitalize on new business opportunities. And we'll discuss how staffing sales professionals can use topics like these to sell more strategically and differentiate their sales process and messaging from their competitors.

In this episode, Marcus Edwardes speaks with Andrew Flowers, a labor economist at Appcast, a global leader in recruitment advertising technology.In 2020, Andrew ran for State Representative of the 8th Norfolk District in Massachusetts. He narrowly lost the Democratic primary, winning 48.2% of the vote. Prior to running for office, he was an economist with Indeed.com, a data journalist at FiveThirtyEight.com, and an analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.Listen in as Andrew unpacks the top seven recruiting industry trends he foresees for 2023:●      Despite economic uncertainty, there will be no major pullback in hiring.●      Pay transparency laws will continue to change the rules of the game.●      The pendulum is swinging back to center on work location, but remote work is here to stay.●      Job boards will increasingly force good stewardship over the job seeker experience.●      Moving beyond job boards to an automated, multichannel approach will be critical.●      Hiring organizations will focus less on spend and more on the metrics that matter most.What You'll Learn in This Episode:●      [02:35] The growing disconnect between economic signals and the talent landscape●      [04:19] Why there will be no major pullback in hiring in spite of economic turbulence●      [07:25] How fear is affecting the job market●      [12:54] How pay transparency laws are changing the rules of the game●      [19:20] Why remote work is here to stay●      [23:09] Why it's a great time to be a tech recruiter today●      [27:14] Why job boards will increasingly force good stewardship over the job seeker experience●      [32:01] How many degrees are truly vocational, anyway?●      [35:52] Moving beyond job boards to an automated multichannel approach●      [42:16] Why hiring organizations will focus less on spend and more on the metrics that matter mostKey quotes:●      “In 2023, the labor market will still be what economists call ‘tight', which means an excess of demand over supply.”●      “Job boards, led by Indeed, realized that their real asset is not necessarily the employers and recruiters and make up their revenue. Their real asset is job seekers.”●      “It is a huge part of the job seeker experience right now to research the employer. That means employer brand, ethics, and reputation.”

The proverbial 40-year plan, where people work for the same company for 40 years and retire to a gold watch, is extinct. The gold watch days are over. Instead, employees jump from opportunity to opportunity looking for the best option. This is known as "The Great Resignation" What does this mean for recruiters? Wilson and Samantha talk about how this affects the Staffing and Recruiting Industry. Over the last 30 years Adams, Evens, & Ross has become the largest credit and collection firm in the world that collects exclusively for the staffing and recruiting industry. With offices located in the US, Canada, UK, and Asia, servicing more than 3500 staffing and recruiting firms, Adams, Evens, & Ross is the undisputed credit and collection leader for the staffing and recruiting industry. All we do is collect a past-due recruiting debt and past-due staffing debt. One of the many benefits of dealing with Adams, Evens, & Ross is we do not have to learn how to collect your past due staffing and recruiting debt. Our people are our secret. We are one of the few collection firms large enough to have Staff Attorneys on staff along with Seasoned Collectors, Asset investigators, and World-class Support Staff.

Kurt Wilkin:                  The disruption piece is most recruiters are trying to fill a seat. You got an empty chair, well, yeah, give me a job description and we'll start throwing it against the wall. What we created was a strategic approach and said, "You know what? You say you've got an empty chair. I want to understand what that chair is doing. How does it interact with the rest of the chairs?" Keep the analogy going. We created something we call strategic talent planning. It's our way of taking your business plan, your financial forecast, your hopes and dreams. What do you need to do to accomplish those hopes and dreams? What does your existing team look like? Then, let's start thinking about what you need to add.Thryv:                           The following is brought to you by Thryv, the end-to-end client experience platform that helps you get the job, manage the job, and get credit.Gordon Henry:              Hey. Hey. This is Gordon Henry, at Winning on Main Street. This week, we're fortunate to spend time with an expert in the field of hiring and building the people side of your business, Kurt Wilkin. Welcome, Kurt.Kurt Wilkin:                  Hey, thanks so much for having me, Gordon.Gordon Henry:              Great to have you. Brief intro on Kurt. Kurt Wilkin is a connector of dots, ideas, and people. He's the co-founder and visionary of HireBetter, a recruiting firm out of Austin, Texas. He authored the book Who's Your Mike?: A No-BS Guide to the People You'll Meet on Your Entrepreneurial Journey, and also the ebook, The Recruiting Industry is Broken. Prior to founding HireBetter, Kurt founded and led the controller group, TCG, professional services firm focused on accounting, technology and recruiting, which he and his partner sold to Tatum in 20... Or 2006.                                    Kurt began his career as an accountant with Ernst & Young, where he worked with early stage in high growth, middle market clients. Kurt's an active at angel investor, managing partner Bee Cave Capital, and he sits on the boards of several companies, a nonprofits. He lives in the Austin, Texas area. He has a wife and three sons, and he loves coaching youth sports. Me too. That's near and dear to my heart, Kurt. Kurt, tell us in 2011, this is after you've exited The Controller Group. You bought HireBetter, right? Your goal was, I think, to disrupt recruiting. What did that mean to you, and did you? Have you disrupted recruiting?Kurt Wilkin:                  Yeah, it's a great question. I set out to change everything I knew about the recruiting industry. I felt like, and still believe, much of it is dastardly broken. You mentioned the ebook, The Recruiting Industry is Broken. I came in and changed everything. The way recruiters are paid, the way they recruit, the types of roles they recruit and everything. In fact, it was so funny. I would talk to my friends. They're like, "Oh, tell me what you're doing." I'd word vomit on them, right? After 10 minutes, they're like, "Dude, I have no idea what you do because you say you're the anti-recruiter." What I learned is that, and got some advice on this, if you're trying to disrupt an industry, choose one thing. You can't change five things because you're going to try to change too much and people don't understand what you're doing anymore. We have disrupted our niche. We work exclusively with what I call high growth companies, entrepreneurial companies, who are going from scrappy startup to scale. We help them really professionalize their team.Gordon Henry:              Okay. Where was the disruption piece in there?Kurt Wilkin:                  The disruption piece is most recruiters are trying to fill a seat. You got an empty chair, well, yeah, give me a job description and we'll start throwing it against the wall. What we created was a strategic approach and said, "You know what? You say you've got an empty chair. I want to understand what that chair is doing. How does it interact with the rest of the chairs?" Keep the analogy going. We created something we call strategic talent planning. It's our way of taking your business plan, your financial forecast, your hopes and dreams. What do you need to do to accomplish those hopes and dreams? What does your existing team look like? Most of which, or many of which, you probably outgrown or in the wrong roles. Then, let's start thinking about what you need to add. The book you mentioned earlier, Who's Your Mike?, There's virtually almost no recruiting in the book. It's more about what does your existing team look like, what are some of the people you've outgrown on your way to where you are.Gordon Henry:              Let's talk about Who's Your Mike? It was a book that you obviously wanted to write and you felt tell the unique story. Why don't you tell us what was the message of Who's Your Mike? and what does that title mean?Kurt Wilkin:                  Yeah. Great question. First, I'll say it's a... While it is in the business book genre, it's the most anti... Different business book you've ever read. Mike is the title character, but not every chapter is set up like this. But Mike is your fraternity brother in college. You guys were best buds, thick as thieves. You trusted him with your life. When you started your business in your garage, Mike was right there with you, nights and weekends, helping you with all the administrative things, the back office stuff, the stuff you didn't like to do, and didn't know how to do. When you became a real company, Mike joined you as your accountant, still doing those non-biz dev non-product related things. Things like setting up your bank account, maybe setting up your LLC, stuff like that.                                    As you grew, you rewarded Mike's 100 weeks by promoting him. As he continued to grow with title and responsibilities, he didn't grow professionally. The challenge is Mike's never done this before. He's never built an accounting team for a $20 million company. He's making all this stuff up on his own. You look up and Mike is swirling. He's in over his head. He's now trying to negotiate a big merger with your biggest competitor, maybe a $10 million line of credit with the bank. Whatever it is, he's swirling and he doesn't want to admit it because he's so loyal to you. The question, for all your entrepreneurial audiences, who's your Mike? Everybody who's an entrepreneur's got a Mike. Either has one, used to have one, or will have one. Who's your Mike?Gordon Henry:              Yeah. Fascinating. To just finish the story, so you recommend, I assume, that when you have a Mike who's maybe risen above the level where he's really capable, you've sadly got to find a way to exit out of Mike and bring in somebody who's more appropriate for the company where it is today.Kurt Wilkin:                  Maybe, maybe. That's the way the book is written is, look, I don't have your answer. No one's got your answer. But I can tell you stories of what other people have done and you can find the nugget in there that's going to support you. Every fourth or fifth chapter, I have what's called an intermission where we ask questions about Mike. Is Mike coachable? Could he become your CFO tomorrow? Maybe. Can you learn all the bumps and bruises along the way that you're going to have if he's learning on the job? Maybe you need to go too fast. You need to bring someone in from the outside. Maybe he's a strong individual contributor. What we often find is that Mike is a damn good controller, a good accountant. He's just not a future looking financial partner. Maybe we put him back into that role and bring in an outside CFO. Lots of different nuances based on his coachability, his humility, his capabilities.Gordon Henry:              Hmm. Fascinating. Sounds like a really compelling read. I want to switch gears to more local businesses. I know you tend to work with these sort of high growth businesses, but a lot of the businesses that, frankly, are listening to our show, tend to be local business owners. They're a dentist or they're a plumber, or they're a roofer. They own a local business, a business that's successful. Maybe they have a couple of trucks on the road, servicing people's houses. They're not looking to become the next Facebook. They just want to run a successful local business. I say just because that's not an easy thing to do. I hear from them that there's a dearth of workers, that it's tough to find people who have the skills they need. It's tough to bring people in and keep them. What's going wrong in the hiring market today? Are kids busy wanting to be digital marketing majors and social media specialists, but not plumbers or roofers anymore?Kurt Wilkin:                  First and foremost, we tell all of our clients and all companies, the employees of today are different from the days of even two or three years ago before COVID. What I mean by that is, for the most part, we are, they are looking for purpose and meaning more than just a paycheck. Whether you're a forklift driver or a restaurant employee or a CMO, you're looking for something more powerful than just a paycheck. That doesn't mean you have to be saving the world. It just means you're doing something bigger than yourself. What most of your listeners can do is find that meaning, that purpose that they can hold themselves out for. Why do we exist? Find out what it is and, usually, more often than not, it's impactful. If it's just making money, that could be a purpose. You're going to attract certain employees, but not all of them.Gordon Henry:              I've always heard that the key to keeping an employee happy is good manager, that they like their manager, that it's not necessarily about pay. Maybe not even about the higher cause of the company. That they have a good manager who does things that managers should do, look after them, mentors and so forth. That's nothing new. That's the way it's been for a long time. Are you saying that's no longer true that those kind of old ideas about what made people like a job and stay are no longer true and it's got to be this higher purpose idea?Kurt Wilkin:                  I think the manager is part of the higher purpose, in my opinion. The manager is not necessarily whether you're good at holding people accountable and giving people direction. That's also the relationships that you build and the type of person that your manager is. That's what I think of when I think of staying for managers. That's something we have at HireBetter is, I think, the people aspect is so strong that people are staying, oftentimes, for managers, because they can make more money elsewhere, especially being recruiters right now.Gordon Henry:              What are the fundamental concepts other than this mission that you talked about? Are there other fundamental concepts about hiring better that companies who come to you need to learn in order to succeed?Kurt Wilkin:                  There's a whole myth out there for companies that only need to hire A players, or you should only hire A players. We have a chapter in my book called B Player Bob, where we say, "Look, B players have a place too. In fact, a B player can be a really good employee. They're not necessarily your future president, but they're very solid employees." Just understanding that is part of the aspect, but here's the bigger things that more to your question. Especially in today's job market, if you look back two or three years ago, most companies were hiring based on LinkedIn and Indeed and other job boards. If you get somebody to answer an ad, it's not that hard to get them to join your company. They're probably C players.                                    If you really want to hire an A or B player, sure you need to interview them and screen them and do all the things you want to do, but you've got to sell them some sizzle too. Why should they leave their amazing opportunity to come work for you? If all you're doing is grilling them and you're putting them through a five-week process and having them interview with 30 people, and everyone's just organized and no one knows what they're doing, you're not going to win the A or B players. You're only going to be able to get what's left over. Put on your own A game if you're going to try to attract amazing teammates.Gordon Henry:              We have more to cover with Kurt Wilkin, but first, a message for Winning on Main Street guest, Mark Myers, over at Peak Profit Solutions. It's unfortunate that every year, an estimated 90% of high-income earning employees and businesses overpay at taxes. Yes, overpay at taxes. If only they have the time and resources to navigate the seemingly endless pages of tax code, larger companies have those resources. As a result, they often pay zero or very little in tax. Well, the good news is there's hope and it starts with a brief phone call to Mark Myers, founder of Peak Profit Solutions. Mark is a tax savings architect and has a track record reducing his client's tax burden by 30 to 60%. No need to change your CPA or invest in high risk assets. If you're tired of cutting fat checks to the IRS and want to know how to pay lower rates like the big guys, book a free 20-minute consultation with Mark. Just go to peakprofitsolutions.com, and click on Schedule An Appointment. Knowledge is powerful when properly applied. Peakprofitsolutions.com.                                    Back to Kurt Wilkin, curious about your thoughts on virtual work and this whole question of what should the work environment be? We've got some people saying it should all be virtual. Some people saying, "Nope, get back to the office." Some people saying, 'I want the hybrid in between." What are your thoughts on that as an expert in this area?Kurt Wilkin:                  Yeah. It's really your preference as an employer. I will say that if you're based in Tupelo, Mississippi and you want people in the office every day, it's hard for us, HireBetter, to recruit for you because there's a lot of other options that those A players have that might include a virtual or hybrid environment. However, many of your listeners, small to medium-sized businesses, they're not geared or set up to work with virtual employees. If you can't hold people accountable and you don't have systems and structure to make sure that they're doing their job properly, I don't know if I would do it. I guess most of your folks have the problem also of having some people who have to be on site, like restaurant employees and factory workers, and then you try to have a virtual office environment. That's tough.Gordon Henry:              Well, Kurt, we're just about out of time. I'm curious. HireBetter is your latest adventure. You've been doing this, I guess, since 2011. What's the future of HireBetter and what's next for you?Kurt Wilkin:                  Yeah. Great question. We talked a little bit earlier about recruiting as a service. I'm super excited about that. On a related front, we've been working on we call fractional chief people officer, but most early stage companies have a desperate need for people strategy. What they usually pay for or get is an HR department that they hate. What we're working on is just the strategy piece and then we'll have another team do the compliance related generals things that HR people generally lean to, because I think anything more broken than the recruiting industry is probably the HR industry. That's the next on our list. But, for me, we've gotten so much success with Who's Your Mike? The book strikes a chord with entrepreneurs everywhere, because we've all had versions of these employees and it's been fun watching and listening to the responses from folks. I've been doing more podcasts and I know speaking engagements are coming back in Vogue. I know I've already been booked for some of those. I'm excited to spread the message. It's a great message.Gordon Henry:              I just want to conclude. First of all, thanks for coming. How should people learn more about getting involved with you and HireBetter?Kurt Wilkin:                  We have a website for the book called at whosyourmike.com. We have a fun quiz for those of you who think, "Maybe I've got a Mike, maybe not. I'm not really sure my situation." It's whosyourmike.com/quiz. That's probably the best way. Hirebetter.com, I'm happy to be a sounding board for any of your listeners as they go through their own people challenges.Gordon Henry:              Right. Well, thanks for stopping by Kurt. Great to have you on the show.Kurt Wilkin:                  Hey, Gordon, I love what you guys are doing to help small, medium-sized businesses. Man, keep up the great work.Gordon Henry:              Thank you very much. Well, thanks to our producer, [Tim Alleman 00:15:58], and coordinators, [DF Barnett and Daniel Huddleston 00:16:00].

Melanie and I discuss expectations as well as life and the challenges we face.  ********Melanie's BioI'm a Career & Life Coach and I left my 18-year career as a Recruiter in the Staffing and Recruiting Industry in 2016. In 2017, I worked for a friend, only to find myself in massive debt, and fractured friendships, and woke up to realize I was pursuing someone else's dreams but not my own. The only problem was, that I didn't know what my dreams were.I call myself the “Accidental Entrepreneur”. I didn't set out to become an entrepreneur but now I am on this ride and don't plan on getting off! I am a real entrepreneur and not one that if you looked at my social media saw someone with a perfect life traveling around the world and making millions of dollars (that will come or something better). I keep it real, the good, the bad, and even the ugly. I am here to inspire and uplift and help people find their purpose, succeed in life, and achieve their goals.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaunaD1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomVideo of the interview is available here: https://youtu.be/5gfwtVBPgd8Have a question or want to be a guest on the podcast email: dauna@bettertopodcast.comTo see upcoming guests click here: https://www.dmneedom.com/better-topodcastSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSound Design and production by Rich Zei at Third Ear Audio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thirdearaudioproductionsBuzzsprout: Affiliate link https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1832259©2022 Better To...Podcast with D.

For almost 40 years, Doug Bugie has travelled the globe in search of the big billers and recruitment leaders of the future.  He's personally sold 800 recruitment franchises in 40 countries that collectively have filled over 100,000 assignments. It's a great privilege to interview Doug for the second time. In this episode, Doug shares his unique experience of helping James Caan, of Dragon's Den fame, launch Humana International. In 7 years, they grew Humana to 200 offices in 27 countries and $90m before the business was acquired by MRI in 2001. Doug reveals some of the insights gained and lessons learned from working closely with James and other recruitment industry legends.    You will hear a comparison between recruiting in the UK and the US, plus Doug's insightful perspective on the future of the recruitment industry, the need to balance between humanity and technology, and much more. Doug represents FPC, a top 1% performer in the recruitment industry as ranked by Forbes, and ranked top 50 in franchisee satisfaction by Franchise Business Review. Outside the US, Doug represents Antal International, ranked by Recruiter Magazine as one of the UK's fastest-growing recruitment companies and listed on the Sunday Times International Fast Track.   Episode Outline and Highlights [2:08] The industry is roaring back! Listen to Doug's assessment of the current market. [5:36] Balancing humanity and technology in recruitment. [6:58] Building a business with James Caan.   [12:23] “Observe the masses and do the opposite.”  [18:30] How the ‘recruitment to recruitment' industry was pioneered. [20:27] Comparison between the UK and US recruiting industries. [27:34] Doug shares the humble beginnings of Humana International  Bouncing Back From Failure to Build a Business with James Caan In our interview, Doug describes his colourful career in executive search starting in the 80's with MRI (Management Recruiters International) and how a failure to achieve one of his life's ambitions ultimately led to him building a business with James Caan.  Doug describes how he put his entire life savings into running for a seat in the US Congress and lost everything. While this was a crushing disappointment at the time, this setback opened the door to a new opportunity -- one he most likely would never have entertained had his congressional ambitions been fulfilled.  When James Caan invited him to move to the UK in 1992 to start a new business, it didn't seem on the surface like the incredible, career-defining moment that it later proved to be.  At the time, James was a charismatic young “upstart” with an office above a Fish and Chip shop.  However, Doug recognized the leadership qualities that would eventually enable James to achieve spectacular success in building and scaling companies globally. As Doug puts it, “James could attract people and get them to buy into the mission and get them to really want it.”  A Solid Career of Wisdom and Experience Doug's more than three decades of career in recruitment enabled him to gain experience and learnings you will find valuable in today's competitive environment. In our conversation, you will hear him share how James Caan revolutionised the executive search industry in the UK and pioneered the ‘rec to rec' sector.  He highlights one of the keys to James' extraordinary success -- a philosophy that Doug believes still resonates today: “Observe the masses, and do the opposite.”  The Differences Between the US and UK Recruitment Industry and the Invention of the ‘Recruitment to Recruitment' Having worked and lived in both the UK and the US, Doug shared his observations and personal opinion on the differences between recruiting in both markets. In particular, we discussed the “rec to rec” space since Doug witnessed the birth of that industry. Hear his insights about this subject and how it is relevant to the ongoing evolution of the recruitment industry. Doug Bugie Bio and Contact Info Doug Bugie's career in recruitment spans over three decades where he's mainly worked in the niche of recruitment franchising. He is the president of Next Wave Global Franchise Systems LLC, which has formed a strategic partnership with FPC National to exclusively sell FPC Franchises. Doug has extensive experience in the recruitment franchise industry - from being an investor, top executive, to becoming a consultant. He was CEO and president of Antal International Network - an executive recruiting company with 130 offices spanning 33 countries, with Tony Goodwin. He was the CEO of Norman Broadbent, based in the UK. Arriving in London in 1992, Doug also co-founded the recruitment franchise Humana International with James Caan, the entrepreneur on the well known UK TV show Dragons Den. Humana, in only 7 years, grew to over 200 offices in 27 countries and over $90m. Humana was awarded the top international franchise in the UK by the British Franchise Association.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann is joined by Jessica Rowen, National Marketing Manager at TalentWorld, a Toronto-based staffing firm that takes a tech- and marketing-first approach to recruiting. Here Mann and Rowen take a deep dive into the increasing need for recruiters to wear a marketing hat. No longer simply a cog in the staffing machine, platforms like LinkedIn have made recruiters themselves develop their own brands, and forward-thinking firms are pushing their team members to leverage what is proving to be a powerful new approach. The pair also chat about: How automation can help to ensure recruiters have enough time to level up in marketing. The three main areas of focus for firms who want their teams to be more marketing-savvy. The similarity between the sales funnel and the hiring process. Whether candidate nicknames are a solid staffing metric. Check out the episode to learn more. During this week's “Ask Lauren” segment of the podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren Jones, Consultant & Advisor to the Staffing & Recruiting Industry and HR Tech Super Nerd, discuss creative ways to engage your talent pool already in your ATS and why that is so important in the early 2021 labor market. This Episode is brought to you by Able, Great Recruiters, & NAPS.

How Monte Started  Monte considers himself an accidental tourist when it comes to his recruitment career. A farm kid in Nebraska, he wanted to move to Colorado.  An interview for a recruitment job gave him the opportunity he was looking for.  He started running a desk and soon became a top biller in the region. What made him perform so well? The same qualities made him successful as a high-level college wrestler. His work ethic, ability to learn, leadership qualities, and having a logical approach when dealing with people. Hear his story of how he managed to get himself hired, promoted, and fired on the same day. The “Leaky Bucket” Theory How much do you spend on marketing for your recruitment firm? Monte believes that what makes his business successful is being really good at what they do, which is finding people. He then explained the “leaky bucket” theory: “If you are just going out at full speed, like a, name the national, you know they've got 10 to 20 holes in their buckets where they are just constantly losing their clients by not delivering.  You are always gonna be losing a client but if you only have like, one or two holes in your bucket, you just do really good work, and you are doing direct source recruiting and referral-based recruiting and just doing it right, there is always gonna be a spot for that.”  The Funnel-Pound-Plus Approach Every recruiter and business owner has a business system that works for them. When hiring someone, his training is focused on keeping it short and would focus on his system or approach. Here is how Monte shared his funnel # + approach, summarized verbally: What to do (funnel) How much to do (#) How to not kill each other while you do it (plus) During our conversation, he explains in detail how this system works and how he does the knowledge transfer to his new team members. When coaching and communicating with his recruiters, he has always been objective but solution-oriented.  A Sustainable Compensation Plan Monte shared a simple, yet very effective approach to compensation:  “My comp plan is, I have a very aggressive comp plan. I figure that I want to pay people at such a high level that I'm never gonna lose somebody because somebody else offers them more. If you are successful, you will never leave.  If you are not being successful after a year or so … I am not the “hire slow, fire fast” guy. I am a “hire slow, fire slow” person. You can't get fired around here for not billing.  You can resign if you are not making the money you want.  You don't get fired for not billing, you can only be fired for being an A-hole.” And the key to success? “if you do enough interviews, enough send-outs, and enough job orders, you will be successful.” How to Look for a Rockstar  I am sure you would agree with Monte's statement: “The big hypocrisy of our industry is that we hire all these people for people yet we suck in hiring people.” Monte's average tenure is 18 years, and a big proportion of his people are in the “excellent” range. He shared some of his practices: Being upfront in the interview process Quality vs Quantity -  “I would rather have 18 to 20 rock stars than a hundred idiots” Hire 1 to get 1, instead of the usual practice of hiring 10 to get 2. Listen to how he interviews potential team members. Monte Merz Bio and Contact Info Monte Merz is the Founder and Managing Partner of The High Country Search Group.  Originally from Nebraska, he moved to Denver in 1994 and got started in the Recruiting Industry at the tender age of 25.  Recruiting came pretty naturally and after three years of being the top Finance and Accounting biller for the national recruiting firm everyone knows, he chose to move into a management role with another national recruiting firm everyone knows.  Five years of management experience there resulted in explosive growth, unbelievable experience (good and bad), and a series of promotions that brought him responsibility for multiple offices and a Regional VP title…. as well as some internal intellectual conflict as to whether continuing down the path of the large National Recruiting firm model was really the best long term solution for him (or his teams). In February of 2002, Monte managed to get himself promoted and subsequently fired for lack of enthusiasm for the aforementioned promotion, all in the same day… and The High Country Search Group was born.  Having sworn off management and being responsible for people for good, Monte embarked on a solo recruiting career he promised would expand no further than the breakfast nook in his kitchen.   Fifteen years later, High Country has 23 employees, three Perm Groups, a Staffing Group, and multiple local and national awards for both “Fastest Growing” and “Best Company to Work For” and Monte has clearly failed on his promise to stay a simple little one-man shop. How did this happen?  He kept his promise to stay simple, it just didn't stay a one-man shop.  Simple rules, consistent execution, and almost zero turnovers lead to slow but steady growth and a local shop doing more than 10 Million Dollars in annual Revenue… and a 15-year overnight success story sort of just happened. A farm kid from Nebraska, Monte was a 2-time All-American and 2-time Academic All-American Collegiate wrestler.  He was a Volunteer Graduate Assistant Wrestling Coach for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and in 2016 at age 46, clocked his first sub-3 hour marathon at the 2016 Boston Marathon.  Don't be overly fooled by the country jargon, he's about as laid back as it comes, but at the end of the day, he's an incredibly competitive, process-driven, numbers guy.  And, if you give him a listen, you might just find some simple wisdom that resonates.
