Forward-thinking leaders- yes you!! We still have a few spots for this morning's webinar with Claire Waring. We are going to deep dive into the impact that Mental Load is having on the Creative Industry and specifically look at ways companies can help support working parents. Let's get real folks, it's been an issue for years and we are now at the tipping point- we either take action or risk losing some of the best talent in the industry. Too busy this morning? Why not register and watch it as a leadership team? Link in the comments #creativenatives .

Expanding into new markets is often perceived as a fast-track to accelerated growth. What I'm seeing is not smart product placement or pricing that unlocks new markets, but leaders who bring the right networks and relationships to truly open doors and build brand relevance – that's where the magic happens. Nearly 50% of FMCG companies’ growth today originates in emerging markets, yet many still fall short, often sidelined by local competitors who understand the terrain more deeply and build better regional traction. This is where ELR Executive makes a difference. We don’t just assess a candidate's experience on paper; we vet their networks, relationships, and reputation in the target market. This isn’t just due diligence; we make sure they have the contacts to land early wins and build sustainable brand presence. True expansion is driven by leadership that is both deeply networked and adaptable. We find that these strategic hires doesn’t just reduce risk—they accelerate growth. #leadership #FMCG #marketexpansion #executive

Post 1 of 2. Main message/key takeaway-- Be kind to one another today. 🗳️ 🇺🇸 Let’s take a moment to appreciate how design shapes every part of the voting process, from the moment we cast our ballots to when our voices are counted. Here are 10 key ways design impacts our elections: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿: Colors evoke emotions and influence decision-making. The iconic red, white, and blue of American election branding fosters unity and trust, enhancing readability on ballots and signage. 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲: Effective signage at polling places boosts voter turnout by guiding voters seamlessly, reducing confusion, especially for first-time voters and those with disabilities. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Innovations like ballot marking devices and online voting options empower individuals with disabilities, ensuring everyone can participate independently and privately in the democratic process. 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: A seamless user experience is crucial for digital ballots. Clear navigation and robust security help build voter confidence, as seen in the 2020 elections where well-designed platforms efficiently managed high voter turnout. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: Well-designed training materials empower poll workers to assist voters effectively. Engaging visuals and hands-on activities ensure they can navigate the voting process, creating a welcoming environment on Election Day. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀: From brochures to social media graphics, creative campaign materials engage and inform voters. Compelling design captures attention and conveys key messages in an easily digestible format. 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: The layout of ballots impacts voter comprehension. Thoughtful design, with clear instructions and intuitive structure, helps voters make informed choices without confusion, ensuring accuracy in the counting process. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀: Creative voter outreach initiatives—like art installations or community events—can inspire participation. These designs can resonate emotionally, reminding citizens of the power of their vote in a visually compelling way. 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘀: Innovative mobile voting units bring the voting experience to neighborhoods, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all voters, particularly in underserved communities. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀: Tools like sample ballots and online guides help voters prepare for Election Day. Interactive designs make it easier to familiarize themselves with candidates and issues, promoting informed participation. This Election Day, let’s celebrate the power of thoughtful design that ensures our elections are accessible, accurate, and inclusive. Your vote is your voice—make it count! ✔️ 🇺🇸 ✨ #ElectionDay #Vote #DesignMatters #VotingExperience

😪 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗥 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗸𝘀... We've been tracking a lot of layoffs and seen our connections impacted. If anyone is tired of the corporate grind, we have over 20 offices coast to coast and many would take on a recruiter or two. I won't sugar coat it, contingent agency recruiting is a grind and not for the faint of heart. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀: 1. It takes discipline 2. You can put hours in that go unrewarded 3. It can take a little time to get momentum 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘀: 1. Ultimate flexibility: set your hours, work from anywhere 2. Unlimited potential, discipline pays off 3. Options to solely recruit or create a 360° desk Some companies may have passed on certain views about recruiting agencies, but we view our clients as partners and we aim to serve them and act as a vital piece of their staffing plans. So, if you're curious and think you may have what it takes, please let me know and I'd be happy to facilitate conversations with the appropriate office based on your location. 📩 Feel free to comment and my messages are always open! 🍍 We at EHS Recruiting Company are here to support any way that we can. 🙏

As many of you know, Prelude's shutdown by Calendly caused a lot of movement in the interview scheduling space as many TA teams look for a new solution. Many amazing Prelude customers have migrated to Guide in recent months and we’re working hard to make the transition even easier for anyone looking for a new solution. Here's a few things we're doing: 👉 1. For Prelude organizations, Guide will match or beat your current pricing terms so you don’t have to ask finance for additional budget. 👉 2. The Guide product team will migrate your Prelude data for you (interviewer pools, etc) so you can avoid any repeat work and launch quicker. 👉 3. We’ll also prioritize your launch date on Guide's implementation calendar to meet any contract/switching deadlines you might have, and help you focus on other things :) 💥 And the kicker (or teaser, really): stay tuned for an exciting announcement soon about some familiar faces joining the Guide team. If you’re using Prelude and looking for new scheduling software, DM me. I’ll personally show you around Guide and share why teams like Duolingo, MongoDB, Openly, Strava, Glossier, Inc. and many more are making the switch.

Martha Williams and I recently wrote a piece for Chief Marketer detailing the value of marketing leadership and how CMOs can make the greatest impact. In short: there's a lot of noise on #CMOs and the marketing function - some alarmist and some optimistic. But the truth is more nuanced: strong marketing leaders earn a seat at the table by connecting the voice of the customer to the strategic goals and KPIs of the enterprise—not in a silo, but by bringing others in the organization along.  Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dRVJAH7b

Calling all competitors to the brands listed below! You are automatically one step ahead in capturing the attention of top talent who believe in equitable experiences in the workplace, regardless of how they identify. In a recent study we commissioned, "sense of belonging" was actually the top reason for retention. So from an employer brand perspective, use this information to your advantage. Younger professionals, in particular, pay very close attention to inclusion practices at prospective employers.

My goal was always to build Pack to be the kind of agency we’d want to work with. Today, I’m in a full-day board and strategy meeting to set the course for 2025. (Looking forward to it as always Tremayne Elson!) The focus? Ensuring Pack GTM continues to raise the bar in the region. For me, that's about creating a culture and service level that stands out in an industry that (let’s be honest) has a reputation for cutting corners. It’s about being fast, focused, and local. Delivering results that make an immediate impact for our clients, while building a team that’s just as ambitious as the companies we partner with. The steps we’re taking now are setting us up to scale in the right way - without compromising on quality or the values that got us here. If you’re someone who wants to work with a team like this (or for one 👀), let’s talk. 2025 is going to be a big year for us.

How I Turned a Tough Breakup into a Six-Figure Win Last year, a client ended our partnership. It wasn’t because I wasn’t delivering. Like many in the agency space, their budgets had tightened. They shifted to internal sourcing for lower-level roles and leveraged their network for higher-level positions. For a lot of recruiters, this would have been a trigger to vent frustration: "How dare you walk away! You’ll never get the results I can deliver. You’re missing out on the best talent!" But I chose a different path. Instead of burning a bridge, I stayed in touch. I checked in occasionally and offered support where possible—no strings attached. At one point, I shared some market insights that helped them secure a key revenue driver. Fast forward to this year: They came back! Not only did we rekindle the partnership, but we also placed half a dozen people in their organization. That single decision to keep the relationship positive and collaborative netted nearly six figures this year. The lesson? In recruitment (and business in general), relationships matter. How you handle tough moments can define your long-term success. Play the long game, treat people respectfully, and focus on being a partner—not just a provider. #RecruitmentTips #RelationshipBuilding #LessonsLearned #WinningMindset

It was great to collaborate with Jess Weems Thibault around how to think creatively about job roles in order to tackle work in an environment of limited resources and scarce talent. I also have huge respect for HireEducation, Inc. as a trusted partner for recruiting top talent for the EdTech sector. How do you think about getting work done? #futureofwork #recruiting #highereducation #internships #students

The talent game is changing fast, and if you're not on board, you're getting left behind! Senior execs are on the market, and they’re not sticking around for long before they start their own agencies or brands -- they're exploring fractional work—and if you're not thinking about it, you’re missing out. If they don’t get the traction they deserve, they’re going to go off and start their OWN AGENCIES or brands. And here’s the kicker—they’re open to fractional work. Don’t need or can’t afford a full-time hire? No problem! FRACTIONAL TALENT is the secret sauce to getting the job done without breaking the bank. Think fractional creative directors, 6-month engagements, full-time results without the full-time commitment. And here’s the real deal, many of these candidates aren’t even on LinkedIn. They’re already crushing it for your competition, and they’re too busy to post about it. BUT I know where to find them. 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you don’t get someone in to elevate your brand in the next 18 months, you’re going to regret it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😉 Need help finding these game-changers? You know who to call. #creativerecruiter #creativeprofessionals #kevadineagency #BFFRecruiters

In this episode, I sit down with Maureen Clough, a passionate advocate for age inclusion and the host of the popular podcast It Gets Late Early. Maureen is a former journalist and director of strategic partnerships for a variety of tech companies turned speaker, podcaster, and career strategist for professionals over 40. Her advocacy has been highlighted in outlets such as Wired, Business Insider, and Inside Edition. Maureen first caught my attention with a viral LinkedIn post reacting to the ageist language she discovered in Indeed’s Career Guide, a moment that ignited a broader conversation about the challenges facing seasoned professionals in today’s workforce. During this insightful conversation, Maureen shares her personal journey, the origins of her podcast, and the inspiration behind her mission to fight ageism in the tech industry. We explore the parallels and differences in how age discrimination manifests in various industry sectors, and Maureen offers actionable advice for shifting societal mindsets, improving hiring practices, holding companies accountable for their actions and embracing the value of inter generational teams. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone navigating a career in their 40s and beyond, and those looking to create more inclusive work environments.

Hey Marketers, It's Pride Month, but ditch the rainbow washing! This year, focus on REAL connections with the LGBTQ+ community. Ditch the fluff, deliver value. Pride merch is cool, but what about creating a valuable resource for the LGBTQ+ community? Think Skittles- it shows you understand their needs. Partner with LGBTQ+ creators. Let the community own the narrative. Amplify their voices and showcase their talent. True advocacy is about empowering others, not just tooting your own horn. Pride is year-round. Don't be a one-month wonder. Integrate LGBTQ+ support into your brand like MAC Cosmetics. Real allyship is a long-term commitment. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+Ally #AuthenticMarketing
