We often talk about diversity in terms of background or culture, but age diversity plays just as big a role in team success. In this episode, we explore what happens when you bring together different generations at work and create space for all voices to be heard.Gary Danoff, a global leader at Google and an experienced executive coach, shares how he builds strong, multigenerational teams. He explains how to recognize and work with the different experiences that shape each generation. His approach centers on curiosity, active listening, and what he calls leading with love. Gary also shares how he encourages open conversations on teams and why understanding strengths is more useful than relying on labels.This is a practical look at how to create respectful, high-performing environments where people of any age feel valued and motivated.Key Takeaways:1. Curiosity is the bridge - Asking questions and staying open to others' experiences helps create understanding across generations.2. Labels are only starting points - Generational terms can guide conversations but should never limit how we see or support people.3. Love belongs in leadership - Caring about your team as people helps build trust and brings out their best work.4. Strengths matter more than age - People thrive when leaders match work styles to individual strengths, not generational stereotypes.5. Tough moments create growth - When conflict shows up, leaders need to step in, listen, and help teams learn through it.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment)How can you inspire our team to be more proactive, take ownership and get more done?You demonstrate and empower The Courage of a Leader.

If you're still posting like a top producer but expecting people to follow you like a top leader, it's time for a shift. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to reframe your social media presence to attract talent, not just clients. Your digital brand is your recruiting reputation. I'll walk you through a proven framework to flip your message from “I close deals” to “I build leaders.” Because if you want top talent to follow you, you need to show up like someone worth following.   Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The disconnect between producer-style social posts and recruiting outcomes. [01:00] Why Your Brand Isn't Working – Your profile says top producer when it needs to say top leader. [01:30] Step 1: Define What You Want to Be Known For – Focus on your vision, your value, and your voice. [02:30] Step 2: Elevate the Conversation – Talk less about volume. Talk more about growth, mentorship, and development. [03:30] Step 3: Document Your Leadership – Share real moments, coaching sessions, growth wins, behind-the-scenes leadership insights. [04:30] Step 4: Build a Consistent Posting Rhythm – Use a weekly content cadence that includes vision, wins, insights, values, and gratitude. [05:30] Step 5: Remove Distractions – Market updates and closings? Move those to stories or separate accounts to avoid confusing your audience. [06:00] Coaching Case Study – How one leader went from “Superman” producer to team-building recruiter in just six weeks, and started getting inbound interest fast. [07:00] Final Challenge – Audit your social media today. If your last 10 posts don't reflect leadership, change the message.   Key Takeaways People Follow Leaders, Not Closers – If your feed looks like a producer's, it's time to evolve your message. Vision, Value, Voice – Define and share what you stand for and who you're building with. Make It About the Team – Highlight others. Show development. Move from “look at me” to “look at us.” Be Consistent – Social branding works when you show up frequently and with clarity. Your Brand Is Either Attracting or Repelling – Be intentional. Start speaking directly to the people you want to lead. Your next recruit is already watching. Now it's time to give them a reason to reach out. Shift your message, step into your leadership, and let your brand do the recruiting for you. Want help building a social presence that actually brings talent to you?

If you're struggling to hire high-performing recruiters across multiple cities or regions, the issue might not be your comp plan—it's your value proposition. In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Dixon of FIFTEEN WEST to unpack a strategy that more recruitment agency owners need to use: customizing your EVP (Employee Value Proposition) based on location. Lisa shares hard-won insights from helping dozens of UK recruitment firms expand into the U.S. market. She reveals what actually moves the needle when it comes to attracting top talent, from wellness perks in New York to parking subsidies in Houston. If you want to build a high-performing team across multiple geographies, this episode is a must-listen. Episode Outline and Highlights [03:25] Lisa shares how they founded FIFTEEN WEST. [09:45] Discussion on strategies for US Market entry. [18:59] Compensation differences and challenges between the UK & US recruitment markets. [29:59] An Attractive employee value proposition to attract the best talent. [32:57] Discussion on tech stack and offshoring certain delivery functions as an option for recruitment companies. [37:55] How 11 Investments recently acquired FIFTEEN WEST. [46:27] Aha moments: Key learnings from working with a bigger business that has been further in the journey. Strategies When Expanding to the US Market As a rec-to-rec firm, FIFTEEN WEST initially focused on helping UK-headquartered businesses to expand to America. They have eventually moved to the US as a strategic effort to become an embedded recruitment partner across their clients' global operations. Doing so is not easy, so I wanted to pick the strategies that Lisa and her team applied when transitioning to the US market. If you are also planning to establishing an office physically within the US, below are the things that Lisa learned that you may want to keep in mind: Leadership Deployment: One proven method was sending a founder or long-tenured employee to launch the U.S. office, ensuring the company's DNA and values were transplanted effectively. This model was described as the most successful—helping set culture, hire locally, and scale faster. Tailored Unique Value Proposition: One main differences that Lisa pointed out is the commission and base salary structure. To get the best recruiters and talents, they adapted their commission structures and incentives for the U.S. market, realizing early on that what worked in the UK didn't translate directly. Market Culture Adaptation: Lisa recognized that the U.S. market is more pragmatic and transactional—clients care less about past success and more about current candidates delivery. Overall, Lisa emphasized cultural embedding, leadership presence, and operational agility to navigate the distinct dynamics of the American recruitment market.

Employer Branding vs Employee Experience: What Attracts Top Talent in 2025?In this episode of The Lunchtime Series, Kevin Britz and co-host Craig Page-Lee explore the critical differences between employer branding, employee engagement, and the employee value proposition (EVP).

Whether you're an HR leader, executive, or employer brand strategist—this conversation is essential listening.

Welcome back to another episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters" – the podcast dedicated to your business success. In today's conversation, hosts Jennifer Glass, Patricia Reszetylo, and Daniel McCraine dive into one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of recruiting: crafting the perfect job description. Before you can even think about onboarding or training new staff, you need to bring the right people through the door—and that all starts with how you present the role.Jennifer kicks things off by highlighting the importance of a well-written job description, noting that hitting the mark can help you attract quality candidates instead of wasting time sifting through ill-fitting applications. Daniel weighs in with insights on focusing not just on job titles, but on the actual tasks and skills required for the role. Patricia shares practical strategies, like leveraging AI tools for brainstorming and being crystal clear about both core and “nice-to-have” competencies.The team also discusses the crucial distinction between internal job descriptions for your hiring team and external job postings for candidates, as well as little details like ensuring applicants follow instructions right in their responses. By the end of this episode, you'll have valuable tips and real-world examples to help you fine-tune your job descriptions and set your hiring process up for success.

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, and most underused, tools in recruiting: events and masterminds. Not the big splashy hotel-ballroom kind. I'm talking about strategic, intimate gatherings that position you as a leader, not a recruiter. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to host the kind of experience that attracts high-level talent without ever pitching your opportunity. You'll learn how to move from chasing candidates to curating conversations that build trust, momentum, and long-term recruiting wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The overlooked power of events and masterminds in modern recruiting. [01:00] Why Pitches Fall Flat – Top talent doesn't want another comp plan meeting. They want meaningful conversation. [01:30] Step 1: Solve a Real Problem – Create a topic around what producers actually care about: margin compression, referrals, personal brand, burnout, AI tools. [02:30] Step 2: Invite Strategically – Avoid salesy language. Use this: “No pitch. Just great conversation with people who are growing.” [03:30] Step 3: Facilitate Like a Pro – You don't need to be the expert. Ask great questions, spotlight others, and guide the room. [04:30] The Follow-Up Strategy – After the event, send a resource or personalized note that connects to what they shared. [05:00] Real Story – How one client hosted a 6-person breakfast that led to a recruit texting her days later asking for a conversation, without ever mentioning her company. [05:30] Final Challenge – Build a mastermind in the next 30 days. Make it meaningful. Let value open the recruiting door. Key Takeaways Stop Pitching. Start Curating. – Recruiting isn't about features. It's about creating spaces where people want to belong. Solve Real Problems – When you focus on what producers are struggling with, they'll lean in. Be the Host, Not the Hero – Great facilitators create rooms others want to return to. Recruit Without Recruiting – Share resources. Follow up with intention. Lead the relationship. Events Build Trust at Scale – You're not chasing people. You're inviting them into a conversation worth joining. If you want to win the top 20%, stop sounding like every other recruiter. Lead something real. Build something valuable. And create rooms where leaders want to sit. Want help building your first mastermind or recruiting event?

Let's flip the script. If you're building a team inside a local or regional brand without the flashy pitch deck or name recognition, you're not at a disadvantage—you're in a position of power. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to position yourself not in spite of your size, but because of it. Top producers today aren't just looking for big names—they're looking for trust, access, authenticity, and vision. This is your blueprint for turning “small” into elite and building a boutique recruiting brand that wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The big question for small shops: How do I compete with the big brands for top talent? [01:00] The False Belief – Why “smaller” doesn't mean “weaker”—it means you have a unique recruiting edge. [01:30] Own Your Positioning – Don't apologize for being boutique—embrace it with posture and pride. [02:00] Shift the Frame – You're not small, you're selective. Not under-resourced, but customized and high-touch. [02:30] Lead with Vision, Not Features – Features don't move people—vision, identity, and belief do. [03:30] Sell the Why – Be the leader who shows up with clarity and conviction, not a generic pitch. [04:00] Agility and Access – Big companies move slow. You move fast. Talk about your speed, flexibility, and personal touch. [04:30] Customization Is King – You're not templated. You co-create support and systems around each individual. [05:00] The Greatest Asset: You – Your leadership, coaching, and mentorship are what sets you apart. Own it. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your language. Are you playing underdog, or owning the boutique high-performance brand you are? Key Takeaways Posture Matters – Stop competing on features. Compete with belief, vision, and leadership. You're Not Small, You're Specialized – Top talent wants voice, trust, and agility—not red tape. Build Around the Individual – Your advantage is flexibility. Co-create solutions, don't cookie-cut them. Lead with Identity – Share your why. Share your leadership philosophy. That's what people follow. Stay in Your Lane – Don't try to out-tech or out-brand. Win with intimacy, access, and personal connection. You don't need a national name or a big checkbook to attract elite talent. You just need clarity on who you are, confidence in what you bring, and the courage to lead with conviction. Want help crafting your boutique recruiting message?

After the Eagles' Super Bowl LVII loss in 2023, Jalen Hurts said, “You either win or you learn.” It was a powerful reflection on turning setbacks into lessons. Fast forward to 2025, Hurts led the Eagles to a dominant Super Bowl win, exemplifying how learning from past defeats can pave the way to future success. But here's the question: Do we need to wait for failure to start learning? Success can be a comfortable place, but it's also where complacency can creep in. The key is to stay proactive in our growth, even when things are going well. What if we could learn while we're winning, so we don't have to learn because we lost? In this special Million Dollar Careers edition of The Aerospace Executive, we delve into strategies for continuous learning during times of success.  We discuss how high achievers can maintain their edge, avoid complacency, and prepare for future challenges by embracing a mindset of constant improvement. Tune in to discover how to keep evolving, even at the top of your game.    You'll also learn: Why learning doesn't have to be punitive  Why you need to watch the tape even if you won the game How to self-awareness into self-actualization  Guest Bio Robert is the Founder & President of Houghton Search Group (formerly Management Recruiters of Fairfax, Inc.).

He also highlights the importance of transformational management, showing how investing in employees' growth leads to long-term loyalty.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:01:08] Understanding Employee Motivations – Retention starts with knowing what employees want to achieve both personally and professionally.[00:02:15] Creating a Culture of Buy-In vs. Compliance – Employees who believe in the process stay longer than those who are forced into it.[00:03:02] Transactional vs. Transformational Leadership – Developing employees and helping them grow outweighs short-term financial incentives.[00:03:50] Helping Employees See Their Future – Retention is at risk when employees cannot envision their future within the company.[00:04:12] Taking Ownership of Employee Development – Sales leaders, not just enablement teams, must actively guide career growth.QUOTES[00:01:55] “If you're authentic and genuinely care about your team, they're not going to leave.
