Hustling Your Way To Success: Demystifying Recruiting and Marketing Yourself in the Job Market

HIT Like a Girl Pod: Empowering Women in Health IT

In this episode of the LadyBoss interview series, host Kat McDavitt speaks with Beth Minter, founder and chief hustler at Franklin-Bell Healthcare recruiting, about the real world of recruiting and how to market yourself as a product in the job market. The conversation revolves around the misconception that recruiters exist solely to help individuals find jobs when, in reality, recruiters work to connect people with clients for a revenue stream. Beth emphasizes that recruiting is a sales job that requires understanding the culture of both the client and the candidate to successfully match them. Recruiters are proactive in seeking out potential candidates and don't wait for individuals to approach them. Beth also introduces the concept of "the list," which is a physical manila folder containing names and notes about potential candidates. She explains that her team dislikes the analog approach, but she prefers it because it helps her remember important details. The conversation concludes with a tip for all professionals: hire others to handle tasks that you're not good at or don't want to do.
