Brianna Rooney started her own tech recruiting agency at 24 years old. Since then, she started two more companies in the field, staffing some of the fastest-growing companies out there.

In today’s episode, Brianna will share how to start your own staffing agency, what are some common pitfalls in this industry, and what mindset tweaks you have to make in order to succeed.

Key Takeaways:

1. When you first go into the business don’t go for the big fish. Go for who needs you the most.
2. Don’t attach your success to your business. Separate your self worth from your company.
3. Hiring for a new business is not how you make money. When you are just starting out, don’t think you have to hire to scale.
