How to Expand Recruitment Reach?

Hi everyone! I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I’m seeking your advice on an exciting opportunity.

I’m considering a role at a recruitment agency where the CEO has expressed interest in my ideas for expanding their geographic reach. I have about a week or two to develop a strategy.

A bit of background: I have no prior experience in recruitment, and I’m still exploring my career path. I met the CEO by chance at a networking event, and after some discussions, she invited me to meet with her and her team to see if recruitment might be a good fit for me. The agency has been a respected presence in the area for 25 years, and everyone seems to know them.

Although they aren’t actively hiring at the moment, the CEO has mentioned that she appreciates my personality and attitude. She’s eager to see if I can help grow their office’s locational reach. A significant part of the strategy will likely involve networking and promoting the agency—areas where I believe I can excel.

Any insights or suggestions you have would be invaluable! Thank you!
