Episode Summary

In this podcast episode, I talk to Abhi Narvekar, the founder of Careers Unleashed and The FerVID Group, Abhi shares his journey and the challenges he faced in the early stages of his company. We discuss how they were one of the first agencies in early 2010's to start doing video interviews and what being ahead of the curve did for them.

As for 2023, we talked about when things are going a certain way, or not as anticipated, you have to make strategic adaptations based on the market response. This led FerVID to creating a 7 figure revenue wing of their agency in 2023, in addition to making placements, once hiring became in flux for some of their consistent clients. 

Abhi is one of my favorite clients I've gotten to work with; he's extremely intelligent and an excellent leader but also very kind. 

Other Highlights:

- The need to think big to scale a company and how to navigate the recruiting journey. 

- Abhi’s advice to agency owners if he were starting all again. 

- Importance of investing in your team and putting them outside their comfort zone
