I've been in the staffing industry for almost 17 years now and just yesterday, I had one of the best conversations I've ever had in staffing. A former client I’ve known and worked with in years past reached out to me to let me know his company is looking at some changes to their staffing strategy, and he wanted to talk about Crosspoint potentially helping with Direct Hire needs. He also manages a significant amount of contingent staffing throughout the year and wanted my thoughts based on my years of experience in the industry. We talked about the staffing companies they’ve worked with, what they’ve liked, what they haven’t, what matters to them, and what they actually need from a staffing partner. But the interesting part was that I wasn’t trying to sell him anything. At one point he even said, “It’s nice to have a conversation like this and know I’m not being sold to.” That really stuck with me. You could tell he was comfortable saying what he actually thought. There wasn’t that hesitation you sometimes see when you’re talking to a staffing company and wondering if you can say something without getting a follow up question that turns it into a sales opportunity. He was able to just talk, and I could give him my honest perspective that he was receptive to knowing I didn't have anything to gain from the conversation. For me, it was interesting to be on the other side of the table for a change and see the decision-making process from the client’s perspective. We talked about the market, pricing/RFPs, staffing partners, what companies should be looking for, and what “good” actually looks like. Not what sounds good in a sales presentation, but what actually works. At the end of the conversation, he asked if I had time to meet with him and his team next week to talk through some of the questions as they prepare for what might be next.  This also made me realize how much I enjoy these conversations. Crosspoint can help with Direct Hire, but sometimes the value is simply being able to sit down with someone who has been on the other side of the table and give them an honest perspective about it all. No agenda and definitely no pressure. Just a good, honest conversation about staffing. If you’re a leader thinking through your staffing strategy and want another perspective, I’m always happy to talk.

Last night I had the privilege of attending BGF's 15th anniversary celebration at Tate Modern. A room full of brilliant British entrepreneurs, founders, management teams and investors. An inspirational reminder of what private capital, deployed into brilliant entrepreneurial British companies can achieve. In the latest edition of the Augment Equity Newsletter I share my reflections on the evening, the amazing BGF story, and why in an economy searching for its growth footing, we need much more of this!!

Over the years, I’ve gained a much deeper appreciation for everything mothers carry on a daily basis. The pressure, the sacrifice, the worry, the patience, and somehow still being the person everyone else leans on when they need support. A lot of people see the 8 to 5 version of a mom, but they do not always see the early mornings, the sleepless nights, the missed time for themselves, or the constant effort it takes to hold everything together while still showing up every day with strength and love. Some of the hardest working, most dependable, and caring people I’ve met are mothers. Not because they have to be, but because they simply never stop showing up for the people they love. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I hope today reminds you how appreciated you truly are, not just today, but every day. Happy Mother’s Day.

We’re sharing a few current openings we’re working on. If you have relevant experience and would like more information, feel free to reach out directly. If someone in your network comes to mind, tag them or share this with them.

There’s a different way to operate in recruiting and sales and it tends to appeal to people who value ownership, flexibility, and the ability to build something over time. As Crosspoint Group continues to grow, I’m opening up a few opportunities for individuals interested in that kind of environment. I’ve always believed in giving the right people an opportunity and seeing what they can build when they have the right support and structure around them. This could be a fit if you: • Have been in staffing, recruiting, or a client-facing role • Are comfortable engaging with clients, prospects, and candidates • Have a sales mindset or interest in developing one • Prefer working with autonomy and taking ownership of your activity While we have strong activity in areas like aviation, engineering, and manufacturing, there’s flexibility to build within other markets as well. We provide the infrastructure and support needed to operate effectively: • CRM and ATS • Company email and sourcing tools • LinkedIn Recruiter access • Systems, operational support, and marketing materials • The backing of a growing company This environment rewards consistency, relationship-building, and the ability to generate results over time. If this sounds like something you’d want to explore, feel free to connect with me or send me a message and I’d be happy to share more.
