Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving to all of our subscribers who are celebrating. In honor of this festive time of year, our team members were asked what they feel most grateful for within the day-to-day operations of being a recruiter. Here is what they had to share:

“Before I started my time with Tier One I had always been curious about the different types of careers that were out there. We all know about the common careers like accounting, teaching, engineering, etc., but what about the ones that you never really hear about?

I am thankful for my time with Tier One because I have had the opportunity to feed my curiosity and learn about those uncommon careers that you don’t find on job boards and not only that, but I have actually had the opportunity to help others learn about them as well.

My job is pretty great because I have the chance to help someone progress in their career, while also learning about what it takes to get to those higher level roles. I am thankful for the relationships I have developed and for the experiences that have been shared with me, but mostly I am thankful for getting to make a positive impact on someone’s life!”

"What I am most grateful for in my career are all the subtle reminders that every person we interact with each day is a unique individual with a distinct personality and set of interests. I research qualified candidates for the positions we fill and I am always thrilled when I come across glimpses into a person's real life and true self - whether it is a candidate sharing that they are an avid wild mushroom hunter during their leisure time (yes, I have actually come across this), or cracking a joke on their professional profile. These tiny glimpses serve as a constant reminder that we are working with real, dynamic human beings and not just resumes."

What I am most thankful for in my career is the level of trust that our clients and candidates afford us to make an impact in their businesses and professional careers. It's so rewarding when you are able to impact a company's growth and an individual's career and life by bringing the right people together. It's truly great when you hear from candidates that you have placed some time ago and they come to you for help finding talent for their new teams based on the experience and trust they have in you.

"I am most thankful to the dedicated Tier One Executive Search team members, who work tirelessly to make our firm successful. I am also thankful for our loyal client companies, who entrust us with critical projects around the globe."
