How do you build a successful recruiting firm with a people-first approach?

In this episode, Chris Allaire, founder and CEO of Averity, shares his journey transforming the recruiting industry with a team-based, service-oriented model.

After recognizing the need for change in the recruiting field, Chris pioneered a new approach at Averity. He built teams focused on specific tech niches who work together to best serve clients and candidates.

Chris believes understanding people is crucial to success in recruiting. He emphasizes the importance of knowing your team members as human beings first - their personalities, motivations, and goals.

He also discusses navigating economic challenges, including having to lay off 75% of his staff in 2023. Chris shares lessons learned and the importance of gratitude and believing in your path forward.

Chris aims to build a people-oriented business driven by the philosophies of "if it's not fun, it's not worth doing" and "find something you're good at and do it better than anyone else." He advises leaders to seek help, learn from others, and stay humble.
