The 50 Year Success Story: How to Build a $3 Million Recruiting Office w/ Sean Milius

No one goes to school to be a recruiter, but it’s clear that some people are born to do this job. 3 generations of the Milius family have run a successful office, and today, they celebrate an incredible 50 years in the business! 

Recruiting is the toughest simple job in the world. What we do – connecting clients to candidates – isn’t complicated, but it is hard to show up and do it everyday. 

The ability to dig in, deal with rejection and perfect the basics is a critical component of success and longevity. This is how to build a business that outlasts economic downturns, industry collapses and stays standing for half a century. 

How did Sean Milius build a $3 million office 3 times? What does this huge milestone anniversary mean to him? How does he see his role as the leader of his office? In this episode, we’re joined by the President and CEO of The HealthCare Initiative, Sean. He talks about his journey, the pillars behind their success and he also reflects on what 50 years in business means for him and his family.
