Going from account executive to an owner is a transition many recruiters have gone through. That doesn’t mean that it’s easy in the beginning.
You go from having one area of focus to having 4 hoses transfixed to your head trying to figure out what the priority of the day is. And at the same time, you still have to be out there billing.
Juggling all the added administrative functions is tough, but it can be done, and you can maintain the success of your office or even exceed it.
If you’re an owner looking for your successor, they might just be an AE sitting in your office right now. If you’re an AE looking to level up, your best move might be leading your office.
How do you take on the transition to owner? What’s the secret to handling technology in this business? Why does adding value always pay off?
In this episode, I’m joined by Managing Director of Management Recruiters of Bonita Springs, Mark Wysocki. He talks about his journey to owner and how he’s handling the biggest challenges all recruiters are facing.
