Olympics
We are loving the spirit, grit, and inspiration coming from the Olympics and Paraolympics so wanted to put a recruiting tip together with that theme!
Sports we don’t traditionally search for!
Gymnastics
Track & Field
Rugby
Dressage
BMX
Canoe/Kayak
Triathlon
Pair any one of these with “Business Development” or “Sales” or another phrase and search! You will find some great candidates!
Language:
“Hi {Name}, I see you have competed at a high level in BMX— so tough! That, plus your experience in sales lead me to reach out. Some of our best Advisors have a background in high level athletics and I’d love to share more about the opportunities at our firm if you are interested.”
Grit & Motivation
Like we mentioned, all of us have a bit more pep in our step after watching some of the incredible things the human body can do in the olympics. Find people who have that same value of Grit and determination.
Search:
“Grit” AND “Entrepreneur”
“Determination” AND “Sales”
“Motivated” AND “Quota”
Language:
“Hi {Name}, I love the fact you called out GRIT in your profile. In order to be successful at anything in life you need some of that! Because that is a strong value for you, I would like to introduce myself and some of the career opportunities we have at our firm.”
Enjoy!
