Join Andrea Ross, founder of The Career Establishment, where she exclusively interviews the charismatic Paul Endacott, the CEO and Founder of GRIT Search, a newly set up search firm based in Singapore specializing in Digital, Technology & Transformation across Asia. This is one of our favourite casts, it was inspiring to see how focused he is to build a business from scratch and we're excited to hear if he achieved those goals in part two airing in March 2021.
In this episode, you will get a look inside the head of an entrepreneur on the brink of something special. Paul will share his business goals over the next six months, what his hiring needs will look like, and the extraordinary commission model to entice talent over. He will also share with us a cause that he’s immensely passionate about whereby GRIT Search has partnered with “Inside Out” (https://inside-out.org/) to smash the stigma and bring greater awareness to Asia on mental health.
This is a two-part episode, with part 2 airing in March 2021 (find out if Paul achieved the goals he had set out to achieve in 2021!).
