Thanks for the shout out Matt Silvey! From day one of us meeting I knew you were destined for greatness and you’ve achieved that many times in our 15 years being friends. In a crowded field of recruiters you stand out with your expertise, comprehensive service, and extensive network. Understanding the frustrations hiring mangers/companies face when facing a job/recruiting market like today with your years of experience will take an immense load off your current and future clients. If anyone has thought “Can someone recruit better than we can?” The answer is yes, Matt Silvey can. Focus on what differentiates you from your competitors and let Matt find you the people to help you do that.

Yesterday, I received a handwritten letter from a former team member (Yes! Hand-written, delivered by snail-mail). About six years ago, I took a chance on him during an interview – a career pivot for a truck driver ready for change. His letter, expressing immense gratitude for the opportunity and detailing his accelerated career growth, resonated deeply. In leadership, there's a unique joy in being able to take a chance on individuals eager to learn and grow. It's a privilege to witness their journey, from seizing an opportunity to reaching new heights in their careers. As leaders, we have the power to shape not just our own success but also the success of those we believe in. Key takeaways: - Passion Over Experience: Embrace individuals driven by passion and commitment rather than being fixated on past experience, degrees, or specific skill sets. - Risk Pays Off: Taking calculated risks on those eager to learn and grow can lead to accelerated career paths and personal development. - Untapped Potential: Look beyond traditional criteria to identify untapped potential in individuals genuinely dedicated to making a difference. Grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of others, let's continue fostering a culture that values passion, determination, and the relentless pursuit of personal and professional growth. Here's to leaving a lasting legacy by empowering others to reach their fullest potential. 🌟 #Culture #TakeRisks #PassionOverExperience #CareerGrowth

The starting point of your career journey is less important than how you progress and the effort you invest. Many industry leaders began their paths in modest circumstances, proving that success is accessible to anyone willing to work hard—not just the privileged few. Take Ed Sheeran, for example; his journey from scratchy 14 year old voice to global stardom illustrates that with dedication, achieving greatness is possible. Let this inspire you to pursue your goals relentlessly. What goals are you working towards, and how are you ensuring your progress? #DreamBig #EffortMatters
