🌍 From London to NYC: Building a Dream Team and Crushing Targets 🏙️
Moving from London to NYC wasn’t just about packing up and crossing the pond—it was about diving headfirst into one of the most competitive recruitment markets in the world. With InterEx Group's support, I took on the challenge, and let me tell you, it’s been one hell of a ride!
So, how do you learn a new market and lead a team to back-to-back over-target months? Here’s how we did it:
Learning the Lay of the Land 🗽
Stepping into the NYC market was like walking into a different world. It’s fast, it’s dynamic, and the stakes are high. I spent the first few weeks soaking up everything I could—from local industry trends to client expectations. This city doesn’t slow down, and neither did we.
Building a Rockstar Team 🎸
Success is all about the people you have by your side, and I’m lucky to have a powerhouse team. Each of my team brings something unique to the table, and together, we’ve made magic happen. We didn’t just set goals; we smashed them.
And let’s not forget the newest members of the crew—Rachel Berg, Richard Cruz, and Andre Bambino. You’ve hit the ground running, and your energy is exactly what we needed to keep the momentum going. Watching you all gel as a team has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.
Relationships Are Everything 🤝
NYC is all about connections. We’ve focused on building strong, genuine relationships with our clients. It’s not just about closing deals; it’s about creating partnerships that last. The trust we’ve built with our clients has been the cornerstone of our success.
Celebrating the Wins 🎉
Hitting our targets wasn’t easy—it took grit, determination, and a lot of late nights. But when you have a team like mine, every win feels like a team victory. And when things didn’t go as planned? We learned, we adapted, and we came back stronger.
None of this would have been possible without the continuous support from Jamie Fraser, and the incredible leadership from Lisa McHugh, Ami Noble-Newton Robert Cooper and Hayley Harkins (Assoc CIPD). A huge thank you to the contracts and compliance teams as well—your expertise and dedication have been crucial in helping us navigate the complexities of the market.
Reflecting on this journey, I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished. Relocating and leading a team to not just meet but exceed targets in a new market has shown me that with the right people, strategy, and attitude, anything is possible.
To my team - you’ve made this ride unforgettable. Here’s to breaking more records and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together.
