Jamie Savage - Revolutionizing Recruitment

Jamie Savage joins us to discuss challenges in talent recruitment. Jamie Savage is the Interim CEO of Startup Canada and is also the founder of The Leadership Agency, the executive recruitment partner of choice for North America’s fastest-growing startups and non-profits. Under Jamie’s leadership, the Leadership Agency has seen impressive growth, expanding into the US within just 18 months.  Savage shares her tips to help organizations improve talent recruitment and retention.  

Highlights from our conversation include:

1. The key to a good recruitment strategy is knowing exactly what your business needs are and what areas of recruitment you need to focus on (for example, attraction vs. retention). 
2. Every organization does recruitment and having a strategy isn’t what sets you apart. What organizations need is the human element. 
How moving her organization to a four day work week helped improve their productivity and revenue by 200 per cent.
