Episode 69 - No Shortcuts, Do The Work, and Why You Need Failure with Aimee Hagerty
Episode 69 - No Shortcuts, Do The Work, and Why You Need Failure with Aimee Hagerty LinkedIn
Today, I welcome Aimee Hagerty, the innovative mind behind EA Associates, to help shed light on the recruitment industry's many, and often challenging facets in today's climate. Aimee's journey from the traditional staffing arena to founding a consultancy tailored to life sciences recruitment is nothing short of inspiring. In our conversation, Aimee shares how EA Associates transcends the usual agency functions by crafting recruitment strategies and talent acquisition plans based on genuine human connection and relationships.
The topic ventures into the competitive edge boutique consultancies hold over their larger counterparts. Smaller firms, with their agility and personalized touch, often capture clients feeling overlooked by big agencies. Aimee and I emphasize the value of building deep, meaningful relationships over merely focusing on financial metrics in a growing business.
The conversation turns to technology's role, particularly AI, as an invaluable tool for sourcing while preserving the human element crucial to recruitment. Concluding with a focus on the future, we predict a continued emphasis on passion and cultural fit over mere technical skills, positioning companies who value human interaction and personalized solutions to excel in this evolving landscape.
Key Moments:-
No matter what, always deliver, be who you say you are, and always be learning.
-
There are no shortcuts, do the work!
-
A few of the challenges Aimee has faced while building her business and how failure actually helped her.
-
How Aimee uses AI in her business and why maintaining human connection is the focus.
Favorite Quote:
"Our transition from a service provider to a solution provider during the pandemic underscored the importance of relationships and resilience in business."

Connect with Suky:
I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in.
With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous "recession" cycles.
Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the "people business". For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to align both.
