In this episode of the Building Bigger Lives Podcast, Kathryn Pedersen and Michael Regan interview Joey Hansen about her recent experience being recruited and changing companies after 12 years. Joey shares insights from her journey, categorizing the different recruiting styles she encountered into seven types: over-talkers, pitchers, greatness sellers, over-promisers, expansionists, givers, and investigators. She explains how each style affected her decision-making process and emphasizes the importance of being understood and finding a fit that matched her values and career goals. The conversation highlights the need for recruiters to practice emotional intelligence, adapt their approach to the candidate, and focus on building trust rather than just presenting numbers or pitches. Joey also reflects on how knowing herself and being open to different possibilities helped her find the right opportunity, and she encourages recruiters to self-assess their own styles to better connect with potential hires.
