I am 100% "lucky" to be in the Post AND to be building @nxtplaysearch.

Here's to building more teams

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

I was in NYC a few weeks ago for 3 reasons:

1. Attend The Post Annual Summit.
2. Meet and spend an afternoon with a top VC Firm to explore a recruiting partnership.
3. Meet a Senior Director of Engineering in person I placed last month.

As a new entrepreneur - this was gold..

@SahilBloom shared a great point on the "Surface Area of Luck."

He explained that your habits place you in situations where you're more likely to encounter luck. The more effort you put out into the world, the more you increase your chances of appearing lucky.

@btsampson11 - emailed you but guessing it landed in spam.

Week 3 of @nxtplaysearch

Can anyone help with my gmail business account sending all emails to spam!?!? I’ve had this account for over a year.

Hosted through @ZenBusinessInc w/ @ Loxo CRM all run through Google workspace.

I’ll admit: I did send 5k emails out in one day

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

(2/2) "I care more about the individual working on the search vs the name of the firm. I want to be confident we made the right choice in a partnership."

What do you all think?

ps: will let you know if @nxtplaysearch wins the search later this week.

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

(1/2) Trying to win an Exec Search against Daversa and On Partners - two really well known & respected search firms....

Met a CFO of ~$20M ARR PE backed SaaS company last week to talk about a potential partnership for this search.

They shared something that I 100% agree with

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

It’s been a long time coming but now the work starts.

A few searches we are retained on:

VP of Finance and for a PE backed SaaS company
Director of Engineering for a VC backed SaaS company
Senior Mobile Engineer for a PE backed SaaS company

@MLSAces Let’s do it man! Would love to link up and get your hot takes in recruiting and MLS.

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

Two tweet night: who are the best boutique recruiting firm owners that have scaled to $1M+?

Always enjoy new followers and learning from really smart people.

What’s the single biggest piece of advice you’d share if you were going to do it again?

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

Any good/bad experiences bringing on advisors? What are the pros and cons?

And on that note - how quickly should you bring in an EA?

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

@thesmbrecruiter That’s what I’m talking about man! Great stuff

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

I failed miserably in tweeting 100 days straight.

I set that goal back in May.

I’ve been heads down working on something big.

I’ll be able to share more in a few weeks.

I’m entering a new season and I couldn’t be more excited.

Jumping in and burning the boat

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

Big weekend for the Rocky Mountain Cup.

Great memory here being in the right place at the right time for the goal.

I want the Rapids and Pablo to do well.

I think it’ll be a good game.

2-2 draw

[Jared Watts @JaredWatts02]

@trentjhughes Great list. I’d maybe disagree on the solopreneur take but you are way more experienced in this and probably know. I think you can create a lifestyle biz (1M+) as a solopreneur. But as a former pro athlete- the right team can elevate ind. performance for sure
