I’m really excited for today’s episode, because today we have a very special guest, my good friend Doug Viney from Benjamin Douglas, which is a recruiting and staffing firm here in South Florida.

Doug and I go way back, I was doing a talk on a panel a few years ago and after I got off the stage, Doug approached me and handed me a metal business card (which of course, I couldn't forget). We then got to talking about startups, building business, recruiting talent and have stayed in touch ever since.

And when it comes to recruiting and staffing, Doug is definitely the guy you want to speak to. He’s been doing it since 2004 and has a proven track record in placing professionals across The UK, Europe, Dubai and North America. Whether it is a Web Developer or a Program Director, Doug works on all opportunities with professionalism and confidentiality for a wide variety of clients ranging from SMEs to large multi-national businesses. Originally from Reading, England, today Doug resides in Miami with his wife and two sons.

In this episode, which is filled with amazing and practical tips, Doug dives deep into his background and describes what inspired him to become a recruiter. He then explains the importance of online presence and how you can best build your online profiles and personal brand to get noticed and have the best opportunities come your way.

Then, Doug describes why you need a recruiter. A lot of you might say, "why do I need a recruiter, I can do this on my own?". Trust me, I was in the same boat as you and once I started working with Doug I quickly realized what a great recruiter can do for you and how it’ll save an immense amount of time and money in the long run.

In this episode, Doug shares:

The importance of your online presence What you should do with your LinkedIn profile Why you should hire a recruiter The biggest mistakes made when hiring Why you should apply for the job even if you don’t completely fit the requirementsWhy you shouldn’t hire based solely on a recommendation Tips for candidates who are currently job seekingand much much more....
