There are a ton of industries where companies need to scale quickly, but they haven't built an interview process to support that growth. What if someone else could recruit and train employees that can deliver sales opportunities for your business?   

Building customer-facing teams is hard. Often, companies are faced with either offshoring, using low-quality call centers, or building expensive, high-turnover teams to generate appointments.

Jeremy Ruch knew there needed to be a better way. His team recruits and provides ongoing training for customer-facing talent to set them up for success. They are placed in a client's company to help the client scale their sales team quickly. If the talent works out well for the client, the client can hire that person directly into the company. It means the client company doesn't have to bother with the whole interview and hiring process. If the employee and the client aren't a good fit, an alternate company can be found. Listen in to find out if it's just that simple.   

In this episode of the Skunkworks Podcast, Eric Bourget is joined by Jeremy Ruch, the Founder and CEO of Bandalier, to talk about the key elements Jeremy uses to grow his company. They discuss why working with clients that align with your mission is vital, who benefits from their service, how the “try before you buy” scenario when finding talent works both ways, and deciding what kind of clients are the best fit.
