“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.”

Study Says Vaccination Is Saving Children’s Lives

Vaccinations against such common diseases as measles, hepatitis and human papillomavirus saved 37 million deaths in low- and middle-income countries over the last two decades and by 2030 will have prevented 32 million more.

And no group has benefited more than the youngest children.

According to research reported last month in The Lancet, deaths among children under 5 from the 10 diseases i n the study would have been 45% higher if they had not been vaccinated.

“There has been a much-needed investment in childhood vaccination programs in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and this has led to an increase in the number of children vaccinated,” observed study co-author Dr. Caroline Trotter of the University of Cambridge UK. “Our modelling has provided robust evidence on the effectiveness of vaccination programs in LMICs and indicated what might be lost if current vaccination programs are not sustained.”

The study involved 16 independent research groups modelling the impact of childhood vaccination programs against 10 diseases in 98 LMICs. Multiple models were applied for each pathogen. Estimates of impact were based on past and future coverage of individual vaccines, vaccine effectiveness and data on deaths caused by the diseases, and on the years of healthy life lost due to premature death and disability from the diseases.

By comparing a scenario with no vaccination programs in place to scenarios when vaccinations programs were implemented, the study estimated the impact on deaths and on years of healthy life lost due to premature death and disability from the diseases.

Measles vaccinations offered the greatest impact, the researchers found. Between 2000 and 2030, the study estimated they will have prevented 56 million deaths.

Over the lifetime of people born in those three decades, being vaccinated against all 10 diseases in the study is estimated to prevent 120 million deaths, of which 65 million are children younger than five years. 58 million of deaths would be prevented by measles vaccinations alone and 38 million by hepatitis B vaccines.

Considering just those born in 2019, the study estimated that increases in vaccine coverage and introductions of additional vaccines will mean a 72% reduction in lifetime mortality caused by the 10 pathogens.

Said Neil Ferguson, a co-author of the report and a professor at Imperial College London, UK, “Our study signifies the huge public health benefits that can be achieved from vaccination programs in low-income and middle-income countries.

“By projecting up until 2030 in these 98 countries we have provided insight on where investments in vaccine coverage should be directed to achieve further gains.”
