Have you ever worked in a toxic work environment? If so, you’re going to love today’s guest, Erin Longmoon, of Zephyr Recruiting. Erin is on a mission to eradicate toxic workplaces. She is doing this by placing A-Players in small businesses through her unique recruiting strategies. Listen in to today’s episode, to hear her conversation with Dr. Sabrina and Mike.
In her previous company, Erin worked as a business consultant and coach for small businesses. She constantly encountered clients who needed support in building strong and connected dream teams, but who could not afford traditional recruiters. Erin gets very worked up about the little guy not getting what the big guy has, so she came up with a solution, and that’s how Zephyr Recruiting was born.
Erin is the Chief Idea Officer and Overseer of The Realm at Zephyr Recruiting. Her magical powers include empathy and the ability to read people, knowing what’s underneath the facade (very valuable in the recruiting process!). Erin is also really good at solving problems and coming up with new and awesome ideas. Tune in now for solutions to your hiring challenges!
