But I was in tech recruiting for a while and you just keep in touch with people. And for me, I find the best way to like,
present an opportunity to someone is just be super transparent so those people and I'm super quick I'm like here's the company here's the job posting here's the pay it's remote if this has any interest to you let me know or refer me otherwise just like tell me to go away right and most people will be like not right now thanks thanks Colleen like no or like here's a friend who's looking and you can just keep it short and sweet but like so many recruiters reach out with very vague information like hey I have this really exciting opportunity it's like just tell me the company and tell me the pay and if I'm interested I'll let you know

That's exactly. I've never understood recruiters who are direct. It makes no sense to me.

Yeah. I think just starting from the world I know really well is I think recruiting is such an interesting space because you don't need a formal education. If you have one, that's great, but you don't need it, right? Like, recruiting. There's no designation.

There's no designation you need. And, you know, I have people in my life who like have all these letters after their name and they went to school for 15 years. And it's like, I make significantly more. Like, I mean that in a, it's coming across as not humble, but also. Don't be humble on this show. I want you to tell us the truth. Yeah.

So it's like, I, if, especially in, um, agency recruitment, because a lot of it's commission based. So if you're confident and you're great at what you do and it's uncapped commission, you're just going to keep earning. But the other side, like this is like a less conventional path, but I feel like so many trades roles are ignored.

Like being an electrician or a plumber or those pieces, they're making a significant amount of money and you're able to get educated or the requirements you need in a much faster timeframe. And so I think that's something that's kind of ignored and also needed. So we work with influencers all the time. We hire for them all the time. At some point, that's not going to be a job anymore.
