I love search because it allows me to help organizations and help people.
Speaker:When I think about somebody that's right for search, they have a lot of passion to help people.
Speaker:I've got a lot of passion to connect with people.
Speaker:Maybe it's someone that they found that they're naturally good at connecting with strangers.
Speaker:Maybe with somebody when they were a kid thought if I had a job where I could just talk on the phone all day long, I would be happy.
Speaker:I also think search is significant as an occupation if you desire a high income potential without having to do a lot of postgraduate degree work.
Speaker:It allows someone to step in and pick up and learn the basics pretty quickly.
Speaker:Thinking ahead has allowed me to grow as a search professional.
Speaker:Because of the sense of camaraderie encouragement amongst the staff, there's a fun culture that has a healthy sense of competition.
Speaker:It's not negative.
Speaker:We encourage one another.
Speaker:There's great training provided, especially for first year recruiters.
Speaker:And then truthfully, my manager is one of the best managers I've ever had in my life.
Speaker:We all want to help each other succeed.
Speaker:I think we make an impact in two very distinct ways, especially nonprofit search.
Speaker:First of all, we are positively impacting mission driven organizations that are helping make the world a better place.
Speaker:Like we are bringing them the highest caliber talent so that they are better able to accomplish their missions.
Speaker:And when I look at the organizations that we've had a chance to partner with, have an immense sense of pride, especially as I see them do their work in the world.
Speaker:That's very meaningful to me.
Speaker:Secondly, every candidate we work with.
Speaker:When they accept a new role that we've brought to them, their lives are changed in very practical, tangible ways.
Speaker:A lot of those people that we've worked with, a job that we've brought to them has gotten them closer to home, closer to family.
Speaker:Some of them have gotten closer to their core mission.
Speaker:Like they're now working with an organization that aligns more closely with what they deeply care about in the world.
Speaker:And most people have taken some sort of meaningful advancement through the jobs that we've brought them.
Speaker:Maybe especially that means A step up in income bracket, like I can think specifically about two different single moms that I had the opportunity to work with and the job that we brought them was significantly more money than where they were at, which changes the trajectory of their family.
Speaker:Search is not for everybody.
Speaker:It's difficult to break into, especially what we call full desk recruiting because you are pursuing new clients and you're also pursuing candidates.
Speaker:It's people business on both sides and those people can tell, you know, if you have an entrepreneurial mindset, if you have a desire to build a business, but with support structure training, then search and thinking ahead really could be for you.
Speaker:There's a freedom here.
Speaker:To build your own personal search practice the way you want to, and you've got the support of your colleagues and your management.
Speaker:If you genuinely like people, if you have a deep curiosity about human beings and the human story, if you have a passion for helping people, if you've got a passion for creating something that's your own, that's unique, and you've got a desire for.
Speaker:An unlimited income potential search and thinking ahead could be for you.
