The Talent Trade
Recruiter Tales - Heather Campbell

I had started off school, like my career path in business, got a business administration degree from St. Kate's in Minneapolis and had always wanted to do something entrepreneurial, whatever that looked like. I then kind of continued on in my career path, you know, advancing with just different types of jobs, learned a lot of things that helped me become a better professional.

But that entrepreneurial thing kind of always hung there. And when I found Thinking Ahead, it was this perfect kind of combination of both being able to have a team and structure and a boss. You have benefits, have everything that you get that's a benefit from being employed somewhere.

Obviously, there's metrics and there's people you have to make sure you're still accountable to, but you really get to move through the organization in a way that makes sense for you and how you want to run your own business. So it feels good. It's this combination of two things that I think I really, as I move through my career path, want. An organization like Thinking Ahead, we are boutique.

And I know that sounds like a buzzword, but we take every single search that we handle as if it's its own search. It is something that everything's a little bit different. We're going to tailor it to what the organization needs. We're going to make sure we're listening to what the organization feels like they need and can benefit most from having a partner like a search firm like Thinking Ahead.

And we make sure that then those pieces and elements are a part of what needs to be a part of that process for the search that needs to be conducted. I think that we are an organization that is committed to the candidate process just as much as we are to the client process. We want to make sure that experience for the candidate is one that feels good. They're heard.

Even if that feedback happens to be negative, you know, we're going to put that in a way that's hopefully constructive. They can walk away from that, even though maybe they aren't the candidate of choice. They're someone that still feels good about the process, both us and the partnership that they've created with us, but also the organization and the client we're representing.

Thinking ahead allows for each recruiter to, again, be able to decide how they want to run their own business. And part of that is areas that you want to focus on. I have had the opportunity to work with human rights and social justice nonprofits that I personally have a passion for.

And so being able to work with some amazing people that are doing some really great things, both in the world and right here at home, I'm kind of one degree away from being able to support whatever that impact is that they're making on the ground. As we're working with candidates, we're coaching them to become better in their career path as well.
