🎤 The power of talking about lived experiences 🎤 Yesterday I was absolutely buzzing after being a part of this incredible panel at the Recruitment Expo (a special thanks to Jo Major (She/her) who pulled us together for this!). We had the opportunity to speak about our lived experiences in the recruitment industry, the things no one wants to have to talk about and the things people don't want to hear, and it was incredibly eye-opening and thought provoking. It left me thinking about the commercial reasons for why DE&I is so important, and the glaringly obvious thing is that incredible talent is leaving our industry because businesses aren't adapting to the needs of different people enough. Losing people, losing experience, losing relationships and losing knowledge costs recruitment business $$$$ every year. What also struck me, was how easy it can be to make changes to be more inclusive, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Things like making the effort to understand different neurodiversity's and how you can flex to accommodate someone's needs, having a zero tolerance policy on all forms of hate speech, investing in DE&I training for your business (it really doesn't cost that much!) and if you're in a position of power especially, simply calling out the nonsense when people aren't being inclusive makes a huge difference. Together we can all make small changes that add up to big differences. The time to do this is right now. Amy Weidner Miles Lloyd Chikere Igbokwe (She/Her) Matt Ashby-Cooper thank you for everything you said and brought to the table yesterday, and thank you for the work you're all doing. #inclusiverecruitment #diversityandinclusion #dei

Networking is a game-changer! As events return to full swing this year, if you're in LA, keep an eye out for our founder Nicole Bruno forging new connections. Here's a peek into her networking adventure at the Forward Female Festival! From the start, we've embraced the truth in the saying, "You're only as strong as your network." As a founder, it's easy to feel like you're in this solo, but let us burst that bubble for you - you're not alone! In reality, bringing your vision to life and building an empire requires a network of support. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes driven leaders, a dedicated team, strategic partners, and a supportive community to grow a business. Since 2022, networking has been instrumental for us in: 1️⃣ Forming alliances with strategic partners to enhance our services 2️⃣ Cultivating relationships with industry peers to stay informed and connected 3️⃣ Meeting potential clients to expand our roster and scouting talent for our team So, remember, networking isn't just about making connections; it's about building a foundation for success! 💪✨ #NetworkingPower #BuildingEmpires #WomeninBusiness #Networking

March has been a month of firsts. Last week Alex Barker and I hosted our first ever supper club with an amazing group of women from Alex’s community. I’ve been making a conscious effort to open the spaces I’m hosting by getting people to introduce themselves in ways that don't immediately involve listing job titles and achievements, and I honestly find it so refreshing. I was at a networking event recently and was really caught off guard after I introduced myself to someone and they said: “Is that it? What’s your pitch?” Maybe it’s just symptomatic of my lack of experience with networking, but it really took me back. Don’t get me wrong, I think there’s absolutely a time and a place for a pitch (and obviously I do get the logic that a networking event could be it) but wouldn't it be nice if we could normalise not introducing ourselves only by our job titles and achievements? We are so consumed by accomplishments and success that we act as if these are the defining factors of our existence. And worse, we forget to tell people who we really are. What I've noticed is that when you invite people to just be authentically themselves, you inevitably end up talking about work and career anyway...but in my experience, the quality of the conversation is so much richer and more interesting. And there is something extremely validating and empowering in realising you’re not alone in your struggles and insecurities. I'd much rather hear your truth than your pitch. Does anyone else feel this way? #microballroom

Embracing the power of in-person events 🤝 After recent insightful roundtable discussions, and a bunch of events coming up, I wanted to delve into the importance of in-person events in today's dynamic job market. In a competitive landscape, where attracting passive talent often holds the key to innovation, events become the bridge that connect organisations with talent that may be out of reach through conventional recruitment approaches 💎 Our monthly MIQ report says it all!
