Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tia Prevo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Tia, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear you experience with and lessons learned from recruiting and team building.

In my years in HR I have worked in the public sector that had employees in place.

I have moved through the rank and have managed teams of 2-30. My specialty is recruiting but hiring recruiters is very interesting because the know how to interview. Using different tactics and lever EQ is vital to sift through who will be a best fit for the team.

If I was starting today I would get out of my own head. I operate at a high level of anxiety and am convinced I am on the brink of getting fired at any minute. As I grow and continue to influence my team I am more confident in my abilities. This is something from the beginning of my career I should have been more comfortable with.

Tia, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I started recruiting right after college, and I worked at a staffing agency where I would learn the ins and outs of how like support businesses for high-volume recruiting. And then transition over to a speciality pharmacy in the area and started from the bottom. I was in HR generalist and then I moved into manager for that group, where I was able to be a part of several of acquisitions. I learned a lot there because it was a smaller company that grew.

Has been got orders that we moved to Las Vegas. And I got into the airline industry or started a non-employee relations to the moved over back in there my natural path of recruiting.

A big part of where I help support is really looking at how we can find people with their lives in mass or one to one in a market that is ever-changing. After Covid the recruiting landscape really changed and so methods that work pre-Covid or not the same. I’m a big in the cloud stinger so a lot of times I’m able to come up with solutions for different pipelines and then drove down my converse engineer how it could work and I think a big part is like trying something and then if it’s not working, take the good for me to move forward and that helps in the recruiting Space.

I think for me I really was always hyper critical and worried about everything being perfect and just with the change in the recruiting space it’s really help me to be more flexible.

For instance, I think people put a lot of weight into worrying about like what if there’s a better person out there than the person that’s in front of me and I think sometimes you gotta keep moving forward and maybe it’s not the purple squirrel you’re looking for but are they able to push your business forward. Incremental growth is still growth.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

I’m in the recruiting space it my journey looks a little bit different. When you need to fill your staff bucket fast hiring events, are where it’s at.

It’s the big net approach!

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

I learned a lot about just doing things scared. When I started this after you didn’t see my first day which was back in 2007 I was tasked with telling 17 people their contract was ending. I volunteered for this task and it was like well I mean, this is the worst that can be so I might as well start there.
