Why did you become a recruiter?

My journey to becoming a recruiter began in college when I had a mentor who introduced me to the industry. He taught me how to land my first job through a recruiter, which eventually led me to fall in love with the field. After exploring pre-dental studies, I found my way back to business and ended up pursuing recruiting.

One of my favorite aspects of being a recruiter is the art of negotiation. Finding solutions that benefit all parties involved is a skill I pride myself on. When working with companies to build out their teams, I make sure that all candidates are a remarkable fit for each other. However, I understand that sometimes people and companies can lose sight of their true goals, and that's where my specialized consulting agency sets us apart from other recruitment firms. We work tirelessly to help people get back on track and find their perfect match, ensuring that they achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

The impact of my work for years to come is what makes recruiting so rewarding for me. I find it exhilarating to watch candidates thrive in their new roles, and seeing companies scale quickly thanks to the talented people that join their teams is a great feeling. Recruiting is not just a job, it's a passion that allows me to leave a remarkable impact on as many people as possible while earning a living.

What’s the most important advice you give a candidate?

When it comes to advice for candidates, I firmly believe that the most important factor is the vibe check and company culture fit. I don’t care if you’re the most talented candidate in the world, if you don’t mesh well with the company and leadership culture, this role will cause a lot of friction for years to come and it will be challenging to succeed in the role. Remember that you'll be spending a significant amount of time with your coworkers, so it's crucial to ensure a positive culture fit. During the interview, let your personality shine through because people want to makes sure that you're not just a good candidate, but also a remarkable person to work with.

What are the most important skills you look for in a candidate?

The most important skills I look for are loyalty, a strong career path trajectory, interpersonal skills, resourcefulness, grit, resilience, and someone that is a self starter.

What are you reading/listening to right now?

What I'm currently reading and listening to, I have a few go-to books that I revisit from time to time, including "Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer and "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. Currently, I'm bouncing between a few new reads, including "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers, "Super Human" by Dave Asprey, and "Power vs. Force" by David R. Hawkins. In terms of YouTube channels, I enjoy watching Impact Theory, Aubrey Marcus, Meet Kevin, Valuetainment, Alex Hormozi, Mark Moss, and Lex Fridman. As for podcasts, I'm a fan of Joe Rogan, The Human Upgrade, Huberman Lab, Ben Greenfield Fitness, and The CMO Podcast.

What keeps you motivated?

I am deeply motivated by the opportunity to help others reach their full potential and achieve self-realization through their career paths. Seeing those around me succeed and find happiness brings me immense joy and makes me feel fulfilled. My own unique and tumultuous career journey has given me invaluable insights on how to navigate and reinvent one's career. Sharing these experiences and helping others find their path is a passion of mine, and I aim to be the person I needed when I was in their shoes. Making a meaningful impact on the lives of job seekers and companies looking to find the perfect fit brings me a sense of purpose and satisfaction. As a natural connector, motivator, and reliable individual, running my own recruiting company is the perfect way for me to help people find their dream opportunities and achieve success.
