I am the CEO and Founder of TalentPerch, Techees Recruiting, The Millionaire Recruiter, and now Thriversity. My vision for the last 14 years has been to change the way the World views the Recruiting Industry. Even though I have two little kids, I remain firm on maintaining a work-life balance. I believe you can be as successful at work, as you are at home. You don’t have to choose. The choice is, to be present and rock everything you do!
You’re tired of waking up every morning dreading a full day of work that leaves you feeling undervalued, underpaid, and unfulfilled.
Your current 9-5 job has you grinding away with tiny raises and little room (or even no promise of) moving up
You’re tired of barely being able to pay rent, having to skip a meal or two, or not being able give your kids the birthday party of their dreams.
The bills have been piling up, and your current 9-5 job doesn’t leave you with much money left for yourself at the end of the month. You’re feeling the pressure to make more money on the side, but don’t know what to do or where to start.
When it comes to your career, you’ve always had big dreams and an entrepreneurial spirit. You know you’re capable of so much more than what you’re doing right now…but trying to figure out what to do next just adds to the stress and overwhelms.
You can have the freedom to choose when you work – and not only that – but being compensated well for your hard work, too.
Maybe you’d be able to spend more time with the people you love and less time in a stuffy office where working your buns off doesn’t equal a bigger paycheck.
Having no cap to how much you can earn, and what’s better than making a difference in people’s lives AND making money doing it.
I was 20 years old, fresh out of graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. I had just spent years studying fashion because I was convinced it was my calling.
I quickly realized opening your own boutique takes money – something I definitely didn’t have at the time – so I went to bartending school in hopes to make my dream a reality (and party at the same time).
Two years later (and too much of a good time), I realized it was time to grow up and get a “real” job……
One that didn’t require late-night taxi rides home and a stop at Jack-in-the-Box.
Little did I know the universe had a plan in motion, and someone spotted my resume on Monster.com. He was a recruiter and asked if I had heard of the industry.
The next day I went into the interview and the owner went on and on about how I could make a ton of money placing software engineers. They worked with startup companies in the Bay Area and ended up hiring me on the spot.That first year I made almost $90,000.I loved what I was accomplishing, but felt the way I was taught to recruit just wasn’t right.Being a recruiter, you have a responsibility. You hold people’s livelihood in your hands. “With great power. Comes great responsibility” -Spider-Man’s uncle Ben.
Feeling empowered and fearless, I started my own firm five days later; Techees.
I didn’t have any experience running a business.
Not much money saved.
What 24-year-old saves?
Now with over 10 years experience, I’m the leader in the industry and the ultimate matchmaker, taking pride in a creative personal touch.Today I train people to do the same thing and launched a whole new company, Thriversity, so I could have a greater impact on changing how the World views recruiters.
