So it's like, I'm going to like find my groove and my people and like, find my space in it and sort of like, how can we differentiate? Like if we're not trying to be like everyone else, we don't want to work with everyone. We want to like be, I don't know, like curate kind of the type of clients we want to work with. So that's been cool too.

Yes. So just on like a geographical location, like the remote – If I'm given a role and you see it's remote first, it's always going to be easier. You can cast a wider net. Like, you know, you can even like if they're in a different time zone, even you can shift hours. But like being remote allows for the largest candidate pool. A lot of companies have kind of fallen back into a hybrid model.

So like coming into the office a couple of days. But when we have companies like we have a few clients and they're lovely, but it's sort of like. like demanding five days a week in office, nobody wants that anymore. And so I think, yes, there's some roles like nurses, like there's some roles you have to be in person, that kind of thing.

But I do feel like I'm going to use the word flexibility instead of remote. Like I think the most attractive thing companies can offer is flexibility. And what I mean by that is not just where you work, but also... time, like even my own team, I know recruitment's a little bit like you just need your computer and a phone, but it's sort of like, I don't really care when you work or where you work.
