“We are always inviting new, innovative ideas,” says Brooke Stemen, Director of Talent Acquisition at Green Key. As the person responsible for interviewing and onboarding new recruiters at the agency, Brooke has several reasons why someone should want to work and grow here. If you are looking for a different recruiting experience, or simply trying to switch career paths entirely, Brooke has provided a handful of motivating reasons to consider Green Key Resources. 

1. Commission structure 

The industry standard for commission structures is 5%, but at Green Key, *it typically starts* 12%. As this is more than double, the earning potential is unmatched. We also have zero threshold to earning commission, meaning you will make commission on your very first placement. You will never have to hit a spread quota or achieve a number of placements before unlocking strong earning potential. In addition to a competitive commission structure, Green Key also promotes from within. “We push our management teams to develop their internal teams,” says Brooke. “We are very growth-focused and invested in the success of our recruiters.” With a tech-focused mission and access to industry leading sourcing techniques, employees at Green Key have unlimited opportunities to succeed. 

2. Flexibility 

Green Key was founded on empathetic leadership, where you are treated like an adult and granted full autonomy to build your own day and optimize your time. Brooke reiterates, “We are not driven by arbitrary numbers, like how many calls you make. We’re a results driven firm and focused on net and production, which is a system that cultivates efficiency.” Green Key is also a give and take environment. Remote and hybrid schedules allow for a trusting relationship and higher productivity. We are always centered on quality of work over quantity. 

3. Mentorship 

Because Green Key promotes from within, managers across the organization are more motivated to mentor their recruiters and facilitate growth. Hierarchies tend to break down in these relationships and promote open communication. Mentorship within various teams is a unique aspect that makes Green Key successful. The opportunity to trust and learn from seasoned recruiters leads to goals being met and a healthy work environment.  

4. Diversity & inclusion 

“Prior to Green Key, I didn’t really see myself represented in leadership,” Brooke mentions. “As a woman who wants children one day, I was thrilled to see so many mothers holding leadership positions here.” Brooke emphasizes that Green Key is a place where you can make a substantial life for yourself, both professionally and personally. If you have to attend to personal matters outside of work, that will never hinder your success or growth here. “All we ask is that when you’re here, be present and try your hardest. At the end of the day, Green Key is an agency made by recruiters for recruiters.”

Here’s a Free Course In Leading Virtual Meetings

With so many businesses limiting employee travel and having those not required to be in the office to work from home, virtual meetings are booming. Since February, Microsoft says use of its conferencing service Teams has jumped 500%. Companies with travel restrictions have increased their use of video conferencing service Zoom 30% in a month.

That’s sent IT teams scrambling to get their newly remote workers up and running with the technology.

Just as suddenly, managers are having to learn how to conduct virtual meetings on the fly. They are fast discovering that it takes different skills to conduct a meeting when the normal communication cues are difficult to read or non-existent. In-person meetings offer non-verbal clues to how participants are reacting to what’s being said. Nodding heads, eye contact, yawns, whether participants are leaning forward or kicking back are all part of the body language that tips us off to how effectively we are communicating.

Telephone conferencing provides none of that non-verbal information. Video conferencing is better, but still falls short. Problems are compounded by shortcomings with the technology and the comfort level of users and especially meeting leaders. Even for polished public speakers, virtual meetings present a unique type of challenge few have been trained to address.

That’s why the leadership consulting firm DDI is offering a free quickie course in leading virtual meetings. Managers with experience leading remote teams will find the microcourse a refresher. The scoresheets are good checklists to evaluate the effectiveness of the meetings you have been conducting.

For those new to virtual meetings, the course covers all the basics and a bit more. Some of the advice should be familiar to everyone who leads meetings — whether or not you actually follow it! However, you’ll discover why some of the basics are even more critical when you’re speaking to a remote audience. Some suggestions — like having each speaker identify themselves and taking attendance — will seem obvious once you hear about them, but are easily overlooked by inexperienced meeting leaders.

One particularly valuable section discusses methods for engaging your audience. Since even video conferencing doesn’t clearly convey the non-verbal signals we rely on to interpret emotional context, the course suggests using more inflection than you normally would and including “feeling words.” And because it is so easy for people to not participate, call on them. Instead of asking, “Any comments,” ask specific individuals if they are clear on what was said or if they have any questions.

The course takes 15 minutes or so and even for experienced meeting leaders, has enough valuable advice and tips that it will help make virtual meetings more productive and engaging.

Businesses Rethink “Necessary Travel”

Businesses Rethink “Necessary Travel”

The pandemic has caused another shift in thinking in the business world, with a redefining of “necessary travel.”

Some companies that previously considered in-person meetings a necessity are shifting strategy, doing more business virtually while saving money and travel time.

In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, journalist Christopher Mims describes his experience getting a tour of Arcimoto’s factory in Eugene, Oregon. It’s a sunny day and chief executive John Frohnmayer is showing Mims the ins and outs of the factory while conducting an interview. But Mims isn’t in Oregon. He’s on the opposite coast, relying on technology to help him do his job remotely. The experience turns out to have enough likeness to actually being there – minus the hours (and company money) spent on the plane and in a hotel.

Frohnmayer also says the remote experience has worked for his company and wants to keep it going after the pandemic ends.

Meeting remotely can keep productivity high in a way that business travel cannot when you consider traveling days.

On the other hand, the airline and hotel industries are anticipating that the worst of the crisis caused by the pandemic is over. Delta’s CEO recently shared they expect business travel to lift to 70% of pre-pandemic levels by 2023 while Expedia’s CEO predicts “hotels will come screaming back” post-pandemic.

While time can only tell how the travel and hotel industries will fare in the next few years, it’s clear that virtual work will not disappear when the pandemic does.
