>> I like getting people in the right fit, in the right opportunity.
Another part of that is sometimes we're dealing with somebody
that has been out for work for a long time.
The joy in giving somebody an offer for a job so they can feed their family and live out the rest
of their careers goals, that's my number one reason why I love doing what I do.
Some of the challenges are competitors.
We, sometimes you'll work with a candidate for two months, we call that betting a candidate;
if I know that I'm going to need a quantitative analysis maybe in six months
because we're looking at future acquisitions, I'm going to start betting as soon
as hear the news, meaning while I'm out networking I could be, you know,
at a function that's totally not related to work but have a conversation with somebody
that happens to do that job, I'm going to stay in communication with them; bet them,
recruit them, let them know as much information as possible about our firm
and when the day is there then I'm going to present that candidate,
now the downside in betting and talking and building that relationship in the rapport,
the downside is while you're speaking with them so is another firm,
so you may have invested two months, or two weeks, two months,
to six months with a candidate, a potential candidate and they decide to go
with another firm for a number reasons, it could be that may be they have to travel
and we don't offer that in that role and that's what they want to do,
so that would be the difficult side of it; now the upswing is you always have that connection,
you always have that connection and you just extended your network.
