thirsty theatre friends glad to have you with us for a moment and I'm with Devon hornik core one in the fantastically busy world of technology recruitment tell us a little bit about it oh man the market right now is as hot as I've ever seen it how does anybody's probably ever seen it in fact I I've been saying that I think that the dot-com market you know 15 years ago pails and listen oh my gosh so what's it like it's it is what it is the wild wild west of technology but you know we have we've got a pretty grand responsibility there's a shortage of candidates out there they're too many needs for the amount of candidates there are so our responsibility is to find clients exactly what they're looking for and most people have to compete pretty heavily thankfully I've been very blessed to to gather a lot of exclusive opportunities and that comes with trust I sink where clients rely on us solely to find exactly what they're looking for him with that not only comes a responsibility of filling it but becomes the responsibility if you're the only one that's going to be filling it so what's it like to make that match it's pretty awesome it's like knocking a lot of the park but you know on the client side it's nice for them to feel they have a resource that can that can really come through and you know recently we had a client who had a very specific software development need it was a very critical need for them and something that they would have continued to lose money on over and over I'm had they not fulfilled this role and we found that person for them they were elated and funny enough they jokingly said well if you have another one of those we'll take it take him or her and funny enough we actually had a second one in our back pocket and they took both fantastic so that matchup of the meeting the needs of your client and finding the right match is just absolutely stunning it's absolutely it's priceless yeah well that's what good influencers do at work friends and as you've heard me share in this Johnny one note conversation of Thursday theatre I love to talk about the give back that professionals bring in their sphere of influence just called it what happens after that 925 birthday so what's going on in here like Devon with that give back part of what's gotten me to where I am today has been to give back that's how my clientele in my contact my relationship Network my sphere of influence really began it was that right was doing pro bono outplacement at any level now more specifically an executive level but that give back continues I've never veered or wavered from it I feel that that's what's got me where I wanted to be and it also fulfills a pretty large desire and me to want to help and give back to other how does that happen in the kind of a brief way well every week I receive a large number of introductions and connections by existing relationships I have and they introduce these folks to me to be able to help them whether that be connect them to other people like yourself and other other leaders and influencers or connect them to opportunities and I don't ever charged for anything like that it wouldn't feel right if I did which is part of what giving back fall about well one thing I've known about Devon is that this sphere of influence of reaching out is so pretty omnipresent it's quite exciting to know what Devon is done to help people find that right match and that give back as really special blends both the personal and the professional does yeah it's really nicely done when you're able to use your professional abilities for for the greater good of people well friends are another great insight to what happens with influencers for good good to have you with us and Devon so nice to have you with me thanks for coming by Russ appreciate it bye-bye
