White Glove Recruiting: The One Thing That Will Never Change w/Jim Guerrera

Talent Hunters

In the recruiting business, many things may change, from the tech we use to the industries that dominate at any given time. There are high points, hiccups and moments that force us to step back and reposition ourselves. What will never change is the lifeblood of this business, the engine that drives everything - motivation.

If a motivated client doesn’t meet motivated talent, a hire will never take place, no matter how good at sales we are. Companies will always need people, CEOs will always want to make their business earn more and great candidates will always want great opportunities. When we can tap into that motivation, we succeed.

How do you develop a white glove service in recruiting? What did our guest learn from one of the greatest college football coaches? How do you use tech but not get consumed by it? In this episode, founder of SCN, Jim Guerrera joins us to talk about his career, his success and the beating heart of recruiting.
