Bishop Partners Celebrates 19 Years of Recruiting and Executive Placement! Thank You!
July 1 was the 19th Anniversary of Bishop Partners and my becoming an Executive Recruiter! This past year was both the best and the worst in some ways. It was the best professionally and personally, but Covid-19 has obviously had unbelievable impact on all of our lives and jobs.
Fortunately, this past year has been professionally excellent. I was worried that people (Clients especially) would think that my move to Florida, meant that I was retiring. Not even close! Fortunately, Barbara’s and my move for personal reasons has had little impact on my business. I’ve survived past recessions, terror attacks and social unrest. My experience and national reputation continues to be a strong foundation for Bishop Partners’ ongoing success. I’m thankful!
I want to thank all of you who have contributed to our success over these past 19 years. I wouldn’t still be here without your support, your positive feedback and your referrals . . . to both colleagues (Candidates) and Employers (Clients). Thank you!
Even though I had two searches cancelled at the offer stage in early April, I’ve been pretty busy. I have new Clients in St. Louis, Austin, Ft. Lauderdale and Las Vegas. That reputation (and maybe my blog?) has been responsible for conversations in the past six weeks about the strategic hiring of a company’s missing talent.
I’ve had conversations with Clients about a Digital Strategy Director, several about New Biz Developers, top grading for a VP level Media Strategist, a Director of Marketing and a Director of Sales and Marketing. A Former Client contacted me and asked me to start thinking about candidates who could be President of a new agency she’s launching. Someone will call and say, I’m interested in the best talent you know of in a particular specialty or vertical . . . recruiters with a specialty know who the most valuable candidates are (and the candidates know who the best recruiters are!). It’s rewarding to be a trusted resource!
I’m proud of how I’ve been able to help candidates with their resumes and a strategy for unexpectedly having to find a new job. It’s very satisfying to help someone take the next step in their career path. We all
have friends who were (very) unexpectedly furloughed or laid off recently. Many have never, ever had to create a resume before! I enjoy the career counselling and supporting part of recruiting. It’s very professionally rewarding.
Personally, the move for Barbara and I has turned out to be even better than we could possibly (dared to) hope for. Vero Beach is a small, wonderful community of people who respect and care for each other. We’re meeting new friends and enjoying ourselves, while continuing to work hard and spend more time together. I think we’ve found a comfortable balance, at this point.
We intend to keep working hard to stay healthy and happy. I’m proud of what I do every day. That’s a goal that makes me very successful! Screw that Corona virus!
If I can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Meanwhile, Take good care and stay safe!
