A humble look back with a bright eye to the future...

New recruiter training can be an unforgiving experience, especially working for small firms during start-up and early stage phases. Being a new business without recurring cash-flow and minimal access to funding puts the onus on new employees meeting highly progressive recruiting goals to drive sales. The pressure of being a new recruiter in the start-up and early stage phase can be intense, since both the company revenue and new recruiter's salary depend on their ability to effectively place candidates by assertively and effectively applying one's training right away on the job. 

Having left the military in 2015, getting no interviews with conventional applications and resumes in all of the job sites, I started Amphib Digital applying boots on the ground insights into emerging market challenges. We had a shoestring budget, which was whatever leftover that wasn't buying groceries and paying rent could be used for business capital. There were times when the bank account was looking dismal; the entirety of this last opportunity depended on me. Yet, I somehow managed to also earn a Master's of Science (3.68 GPA) while steadily growing the business from start-up through early stage. For me, these were big, long-term, real-world challenges...

We've made great progress in the business since those days. In the training realm, we've taken on a few new recruiters who were recently transitioned veterans, trained them from scratch to making their first successful placements within 50 to 60 days. This was their first small business experience and their first ever sales-related success as well. 

We're always looking for analytically minded, self-driven, effective communicators who thrive on integrity and autonomy to join our lean operational team. Bonus, if you have at least 2 years of recruiting experience with a track record of successful placements in STEM, Defense, or IT sectors. If you're interested, apply today!

Happy Thursday
