I remember the day I started at Pinstripe, there was a lot of talk of RPO, vertical structures, sourcing, pipelining and seamlessly becoming the client. I remember thinking, Wow! Ok, let’s see.
Almost four years into the journey and now I’m making videos to represent a small picture of what we do and what I have learned. Check out my debut below. The most important thing I have learned is that getting to know my clients and being able to focus on their needs makes a difference in being able to deliver better talent. And, Pinstripe affords me the time and resources to do that.
I have worked in several HR roles over the years and was often so busy running from one meeting or task to another that when I finally got back to my desk I had to spend most of my time returning communications to the low hanging fruit, or looking for a position. That worked some days and most days just sated the volume need. Working that way doesn’t produce the best talent or result in the best fit.
At Pinstripe, working on one account, I get to know the company. I get to know what the people I work with at the company are doing each day, and so I know where I can fit in and make the biggest impact. I get to know what the company needs are, what the culture is, and that helps me find and recruit people that will be the perfect fit.
My goal in working with a client is to become part of that company in a way because I’m representing them. The “We Become You: Good Medicine” video showcases a lot of the passion, energy and commitment that goes into “Becoming You.”
