Mindi Romero went from being “found” on LinkedIn to launching branches through a pandemic, building powerhouse teams, and creating a direct-hire division that redefines how recruiters partner with hiring managers. She shares how to transform sales from a “dirty S word” into authentic value—and how to become the go-to recruiter in your niche.
Benjamin and Mindi cover: organic BD strategies, leadership training, time management on a 360 desk, and building teams that stay loyal as they grow.
You’re the recruiter everyone knows and trusts—top talent comes to you, and clients call first. That’s exactly what Mindi achieved. Learn how to:
• Move from recruiter to strategic partner by advising on hiring strategies.
• Build your brand and network on LinkedIn so every call is warm.
• Leverage mentorship, associations, and industry events (AGC, Future Forward) for inbound business.
• Manage your schedule and energy so both sales and recruiting thrive.
• Foster and retain a high-performing team without losing top talent.
