So you had a good first year in recruitment. Yeah, first year in recruitment was amazing. It was, right after the pandemic, best year ever. Yeah, I know we haven't actually spoken to many people that have started their recruitment career post-COVID 2021. How, like, what was that year like? And then compare it to last year, yeah, so I suppose that all of recruiters have felt last year. So imagine, coming in first year in recruitment. You have your first year, first full year in recruitment. I did probably 400k and understanding that the jobs come to you, they need you and you feel amazing because everyone needs your services. So you're placing candidates, money comes easily and you learn that that's normal. That's recruitment Amazing year.
Speaker 1:Then things started to change and because we didn't really practice as much BD at the beginning at least myself, because roles were coming to me instead of me having to chase them Last year was completely different, was tough, because we had to adapt our process. We had to adapt to moving from jobs coming to you to scrubbing jobs, whatever you could right and finding leads and being very creative with your craft to find the right lead and then take it to a role. So what's your method there? How do you find leads? How do you build your pipeline, build your desk, what do you do? Lately it's been a lot about networking, networking, getting out there, meeting with clients, meeting with other clients, meeting with other clients, other clients, like really being everywhere, like on linkedin, in person. Go have that coffee with that client, even if they don't have a role with you, like for you, you want to be just checking in, checking in like they know who you are, get close to those clients.
