Celebrate Year End Wins and Use Them to Attract Talent

Identify people in your office who ended 2019 with a bang. Celebrate their wins, get permission to use their name to recruit and start finding people who have similar backgrounds.

Examples: They were a collegiate baseball player OR they were in the Marine Crops OR they came from Medical Device Sales

Example Searches using examples above:

“Marine Corps” AND “Sales”

“Baseball” AND “Sales” OR “Business Development”

“Medical Device” AND “Sales”

Example Language:

“Hi {Name}, Happy New Year to you.

I came across your profile and it stood out to me because of your background in {add background}. One of our advisors, {insert name} transitioned their career from {insert background} and had an incredible year in 2019. I am not under the impression you are in the market for a career change but again, because of (insert advisors name} success here after the career move, I couldn’t help but reach out. I’d love to introduce myself professionally if you have time over the next week. What works for you?”
