Do you want to know why I think that is part of it?
I think when you are reasonably happy, people, if they're willing to take a call with me, they're not perfectly happy in their role.
Or sometimes they're just networking.
Yes, that's part of it. But there is something like if you don't need it, you don't care, I guess, in the same way. And you're so much more confident in the way you communicate and you interview better. Totally. So exactly. So I really believe that for sure.
But you can hear it sometimes. Like, obviously, there's so many layoffs in the world and all these things. But, like, if people get to the point where they're like, I don't even care. I'll take a PECA. And it's like, just know your worth and have confidence and you'll come across.
And the thing is, when you're super niche, like especially on the tech side, they're reached out to all the time. Totally. So even on LinkedIn, you'll see it'll literally be like, stop emailing me. Like it's like people. Wow. And so I think in general, recruiters kind of, they have a bad feeling about us a lot of the time.
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. So I think there's, I mean, just we've been talking about tech. Tech pays really well at all levels.
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.
And you know, what's always going to be needed is those like essential. So like what's essential that's going to be needed all the time?
Yeah. Some people just do executive search. Like we do everything from entry level through executive.
Remembering is so key. I always say this to people. Everyone's like, how are you good at your job? What does it mean to be successful in recruitment? It's really just keeping in touch with people and remembering details.
100%.
So as a company, like from a business owner, we charge 20% of the base salary and then your recruiters will get anywhere from like 10 to 15%. Yeah.
Yeah, especially in the emergency space as well, because at that time you're like, I'll pay whatever to fix this, please.
