Staffing is one of the most important aspects of growing a business but can also be one of the most challenging.

Not only do employers need to find suitable candidates, but they also need to make sure that those candidates are a good fit for the company culture and will be able to hit the ground running.

That's where recruiters come in. A good recruiter will have a vast network of stellar candidates to choose from, and they will also have the expertise necessary to evaluate each candidate's skills, experience, and personality. As a result, working with a recruiter is often the best way for business owners to find the high-quality employees they need to take their business to the next level.

About the guest:

In her youth, Jordan Franklin dreamed of becoming a doctor because she believed that it would be the only way to help people. She got her degree in Chemistry but somehow ended up working for a staffing agency.  She then realized that there was another way to help people without spending a lot of money to get a doctorate.

Jordan likes to sit next to people she doesn’t know, strike up a conversation with them, and ask them what they do. She believes that building your network is how you build your net worth. And since she’s in the staffing industry, this “party trick” has worked for her.

Today, Jordan Franklin is the CEO at Stratice, LLC, a women-owned talent management firm.  They offer specialized plans with the goal of connecting employers with exceptional talents that are the right fit for their organization.
