The one where I recorded with my good buddy and former boss, Nelson Leiser. The vast majority of his career (22 years) has been spent in recruiting and he now leads the Talent Acquisition team at Bluegreen Vacations. He's extremely wise and was the best person I could possibly think of on my home team to bring on to encourage you during such a tough time in the job market.

Okay, Nelson. I am so excited to have you on the show today. This is so fun for me. And just excited to talk about job search, about interviewing about a lot of things that. Are really, probably heavy on the hearts of a lot of our listeners. However, you're the expert in all these things, which is why I love you and what people won't know when they start listening is you used to be my boss, which is so fun.
And now years later, we get to talk about all this kind of fun stuff and just kind of unpack your wisdom, which I'm super excited about. So I'd love for you to start by just telling everybody a little bit about you, about the work that you've done for. Gosh, how many years now? 21 years. And just your experience kind of in this space before we jump into all the things.
Yeah, sure. Hey, listen, I am pumped that I made it on your show. I wasn't sure I'd make the cut. So I'm honored to be here, I guess I'll pass the interview. So that's good news. I have worked in recruiting for 22 years, a variety of different organizations. I started with staffing firms, which just meant I worked in companies that helped other companies find talent.
Uh, and again, a large variety of roles. Uh, I guess when I looked back at that nine year period, before I got into corporate recruiting, uh, had a hundred different. Companies that are supported over that period. Not all at once, but a lot of different types of jobs, different industries, mom, and pops, billion dollar corporations, a lot of different sizes, right.
Uh, have worked in sales recruiting a majority of the time that I've been on the corporate side. Um, I had a three and a half year run in healthcare help to build a team from the ground up here in the Knoxville region. And that was a lot of fun. Um, my sweet spot really is sales recruiting. That's what I enjoy the most for sure.
