[Interview] Jen and Greg Lambert from TERRA Staffing Group

Almost every company has a mission, a vision, a list of core values but all too often, they're just words. Words on a website, words in a strategic plan.  

But then, there are those companies that really live their values and on this episode of Secrets of Staffing Success, Vicki and I chat with Jen and Greg Lambert, the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Executive Officer with TERRA Staffing Group.

2020, the year of COVID, pushed our industry to adapt and adopt new ways of doing business. Many in the industry have said that the past 12 months have accelerated the path toward digital transformation by as much as a decade.

[Interview] John Thomas, Professional Developer at Specialized Recruiting Group of Express Professionals.

Over the past 38 years, John Thomas has built an incredibly successful career in the staffing industry. He’s seen the evolution of our business from old school cold-calling and recruiters with “little black books” to today’s sophisticated sales and recruiting methods, process automation, and the rapid rise in staffing technology. 

 

For this episode of Secrets of Staffing Success, we asked John to share what he feels are the three most important topics to success in staffing sales and recruiting, and in this episode, he will tell you about: 

 

• The Power of Communication 

• How to Be All that You Say You Are 
• The vital importance of Staying Focused 

 

The advice John shares isn’t about the next generation of technology or new on demand business models, it’s about doing the most essential things right. It’s about improving communication (on more levels than ever before), building stronger, personal relationships with clients and talent, and avoiding “the tornado” that hits us ever day to get the most important things done.
