Evolve our Recruiting Game
Recruiting is a grind. Anyone that tells you differently is lying (or selling you lead gen services.)
The lack of formal sales & recruiting training in our industry is a problem. A great recruiter decides to launch their firm, brings on a few clients, but then gets stuck hiring new team members, finding new clients, & evaluating what works and doesn't.
There’s a reason most agencies can’t scale. There’s never a time to step back and evaluate what works, what doesn’t. Next thing you know, you've spent thousands on tools that no one is really leveraging correctly or using at all.
You want to do it differently than other agencies, but are stuck in the day-to-day of qualifying reqs, chasing feedback, & wondering how to get the most out of your team.
Enter the DIGITAL RCRUITER.
After 5 years at Aerotek & 2 years booking thousands of sales calls for clients via LinkedIn, from influencers with 700,000 followers to founders with less than 100” connections, I steered the Digital Recruiter in 2021.
Since then, I have worked with 150+ recruiters & agency owners on their recruiting process & LinkedIn outreach + content leading to millions in additional placements.
Now, I work exclusively with recruiting owners and leadership teams that have proven they can sell, but want to take the next step.
By reverse engineering where you want to go together, and utilizing our holistic approach to recruiting, merging old school fundamentals with a digital presence is how we get there together.
If you work with a sense of urgency and humility and have a good time working hard, we likely will get along well.
Want to see how we can work together?
