-: Any business degree typically translates pretty well
into this type of role.
HR is helpful, or just any sort of
business marketing degree.
With specific skills that work well or translate well,
is honestly having that natural curiosity.
Part of job is to, we're more of a relationship-driven
culture, so it's not necessarily a traditional
maybe sales transactional type of role.
We wanna build the relationship with our clients,
so wanting to understand what their culture is,
what their team is, when they hire what do they look for.
I will oftentimes call my clients knowing that there
won't be a need, but maybe still wanna take the time
to meet with them to discuss 2019 initiatives,
and how we can really just partner from that standpoint on.
Providing them different, again marketing trends
as far as like retention or what other companies are doing
to be creative in recruiting.
So just being able to consult in that area is a big part
of what we do, so that natural curiosity tends to help
ask the right questions and be successful in the role.
How would you best prepare to get into
staffing after college?
I would tell you, going to these networking events,
like the college career fair is awesome.
We typically always have a presence at those type of events.
We actually work a lot with college students in the summers
or over winter breaks too,
on getting them out to work on a contract basis.
I think that that is a huge way if you are curious
as to what we do for a career path, you get to see
what it looks like from the candidate standpoint.
But then in addition to that,
we have a management and training program as well,
so it's essentially an internship,
where if you have interests then they put you through
an intensive training program and you kinda get
a better idea of what that looks like.
But I would just say from a networking standpoint,
it's probably the best thing you can do in terms of if you
were interested in getting more into this career path.
