Did you know that how you choose to interact with your network of “competitors” can be one of the most powerful choices in the growth of yourself and your business? I choose to embrace them whenever I have the chance! This week was a testament to that philosophy. I had the privilege of meeting with two fellow Recruiting Firm CEOs and one Director – two here in North Carolina, where Ferretti Search is headquartered, and one in Ohio, where we also have an office. There was no formal agenda, just a genuine desire for business owners in the same industry to connect and mutually benefit. And the takeaways were invaluable: 🔹Openly discussed the challenges we're facing, shared insights on efficiencies, and celebrated our successes. 🔹We delved into growth strategies, internal hiring practices, talent development, marketing approaches, and tech stacks. 🔹Exchanged contact information for industry experts who have been instrumental in our journeys. 🔹Shared some great book recommendations. (Highly recommend Building an Elite Organization by Don Wenner!) 🔹The conversations were marked by openness and a willingness to share both strengths and weaknesses. 🔹We offered advice, recognizing that we've all navigated similar challenges and while also finding success in our own ways. 🔹It reinforced the truth that every day is a school day, and there's always something to learn from those around us. (My childhood friend’s father used to say this all the time, miss you, Bill!) 🔹We genuinely celebrated each other's achievements, which is so important in our demanding work, while also bragging on the exceptional people that make our organizations run. I left these meetings with actionable insights and follow-up items to share with my leadership team and our powerhouse recruiters and sales professionals. Equally as important, I left grateful I had the chance to share all the amazing stuff the team at Ferretti Search is doing! We have a lot to be proud of, y’all! What do you think, LinkedIn? Do you agree? I firmly believe there's ample opportunity for everyone to succeed if we collaborate with the right people and in the right way. Do you embrace your competition, or do you tend to avoid it? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #jobs #hiring #opentowork #ferrettisearch #headhunting #talent #careers #recruitment #career #JobSearch #jobopportunities #wearehiring #staffing #recruiting #nowhiring
