Our CEO, Dave Carvajal spoke with NBC News about the BOOM that's happening:

You must re-recruit your own people.

The pandemic has accelerated behavior patterns.

Technology continues to catalyze the way we relate and work.

If you're not telling your People how their contribution is important, how it drives growth and how it creates opportunity they will continue to aspire and reach for that kind of impact somewhere else.

A surge in new business formation suggests that the coronavirus pandemic has created a landscape in which entrepreneurs and startups can thrive and new

Excerpt from President Barack Obama's "Remarks by the President at Fourth of July Celebration" July 4th, 2016:

"...it's important to remember what a miracle this country is. How incredible -- how incredibly lucky we are that people, generations ago, were willing to take up arms and fight for our freedom. And then people, inside this country, understanding that there were imperfections in our union and were willing to keep on fighting on behalf of extending that freedom to all people and not just some. (Applause.)

And that story of independence is not something that happens and then we just put away. It's something that we have to fight for every single day. It's something that we have to nurture, and we have to spread the word, and we have to work on. And it involves us respecting each other. And it involves us recognizing that there are still people in this country who are going hungry -- and they're not free because of that. There are still people in this country who can't find work -- and freedom without the ability to contribute to society and put a roof over your head or look after your family, that's not yet what we aim for."

The best CEOs and Investors know that TIME is the only scarce resource.

Since the beginning of time, when humans began to organize around commercial enterprise, the ingredients for outrageous entrepreneurial success are the same: people; ideas; capital.

Ideas are over-rated. More important is ex*****on.

Ex*****on is all about the right people.

Capital is abundant. Never in the history of the world has there been a more efficient flow of capital to good teams.

'People' is by far the most important ingredient for outrageous entrepreneurial success.

You can build your executive DREAM team over the next 3 to 6 years, or the next 3 to 6 months.

The greatest utilization of venture capital is to acquire the right human capital.

Be A Leader Of Leaders.

Recruit Your Executive DREAM Team.

To the untrained recruiter, both success and failure are a mystery.

Pre-empting the counter-offer is one of the most powerful tools to secure your target hire.

Offer delivery should be the 3rd part of a 3-part conversation.

Done correctly, it inoculates your finally selected hiring target from falling prey to another offer or the notorious counter-offer.

All teams are NOT created equal.

Recruit Better.

Make recruiting and culture your strategic competitive advantage.

In a world where the noise to signal ratio has drastically increased, the ability to make a 'connection' is what defines great recruiting. Candidates are smart.

They know you are a recruiter so they know that you want to talk to them about job opportunities.

Everybody is coming at them straight on about job opportunities, trying to be 'efficient' with a direct approach.

In my humble opinion, I would propose that you come at candidates from a different angle, from a different perspective.

Connect with candidates based on their interests, on the things that they are passionate about.

Disproportionate learning is one of the greatest reasons to join a high-growth startup as I've stated here. The People, Culture, and Mission are other great reasons.

"If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants." --David Ogilvy

Recruiting is both the greatest opportunity for entrepreneurial success and also the greatest cause for failure.

Most startups will fail because they largely fail at recruiting and hiring.

The biggest reason why anyone will succeed or fail at any company has everything to do with whether their personal DNA matches the cultural DNA of the CEO, leader of the organization.

Investors are drowning in startup investment opportunities and starving for high-performance board meetings.

The gap between current performance and achieving plan is always talent.

And, you know as well as I do that all teams are not created equal.

So, what happens when you build your executive DREAM Team?

You hit your KPIs, your dreams come true, and you make your board investors happy.

Recruit Better.

Achieve More.

Make more happiness.
