How to make your company better through change efforts.

One of the most valuable skills is identifying the best talent.

Ever heard the story about the space race between the US & USSR? The Americans? Spent millions inventing a pen that worked in zero gravity. The Soviets? Used pencils. Now, who knows if this is true, but it’s a brilliant metaphor for “working smart” vs. “working hard.” And guess what? The same principle applies to recruitment. We’ve all been there – spending months refining recruitment processes, adding more steps, interviews, and fancy assessments. It’s like building the zero-gravity pen... super complex, time-consuming, and expensive. But sometimes, we just need to simplify. Take a step back and ask: Are we overcomplicating things? Could we achieve the same (or better) results by using the metaphorical pencil instead? Here’s the kicker: In recruitment, “working smart” doesn’t always mean adding more complexity. It means focusing on what really matters—finding the right people quickly, without unnecessary hurdles . Maybe it’s reducing interview stages, simplifying job ads, or leaning more toward automation. Whatever it is, the key is not to mistake effort for efficiency. So, are you recruiting with the million-dollar pen or the pencil?

WHOA! It's common to remind my teams to take a moment and celebrate the wins. It’s not always easy when you’re running full speed, but sometimes the moments are so impactful, they stop you in your tracks. Today was one of those days for me while reviewing reports for the end of this quarter and reflecting on the entire year. I won’t dive into all the details of 2024, but it’s truly inspiring to reflect on a few items that this team has achieved in another "down" and challenging year for the staffing industry: 💥 A revitalized Business Development strategy centered around authentic relationship-building, leading to new clients, greater diversification, and a strong pipeline of pending agreements and partnerships that hold incredible potential. 💥 The highest number of qualified active job requisitions, empowering our recruiters to increase life-changing connections for both our candidates and themselves. 💥 GROWTH - Professionally, Personally, and Financially across the teams. 💥 100% retention on the Recruitment Team, whose culture is likely the most rewarding thing I have the privilege to witness and be a part of. We are stronger and more prepared than ever for the exponential growth ahead. To the incredible teams I work with every day—you are amazing, and together we’re building something truly extraordinary. The best is yet to come! #Team #Growth #StaffingIndustry #Staffing #Relationships #EnergyIndustry #Recruiting #CompanyGrowth #BestCompany #BusinessDevelopment
