Episode Summary

In this episode of the Digital Recruiter Podcast, host Clark talks to Brandon Glyck, the CEO of Quantum Search Partners, a rapidly growing recruiting firm recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for the last 3 years. 

The conversation dives deep into Brandon's unique journey into the recruiting industry, starting from his days as a college football player at Princeton. After a career-ending injury, Brandon began working at his father’s one-man recruiting shop, where he quickly learned the ropes and started making placements. His story is marked by resilience, especially during challenging times like the 2008 financial crisis when the business was at risk due to the collapse of their main client, AIG.

Brandon shares how he transitioned from being a young, cold-calling rookie to a seasoned professional who has successfully expanded his family's business into a thriving agency. He reflects on the differences between recruiting during the pre-LinkedIn era and today's more digitally connected world. Despite these changes, Brandon emphasizes the enduring importance of building and maintaining genuine relationships with clients and candidates—what he calls the "compound interest" of recruiting.

Throughout the discussion, Brandon and Clark touch on the evolution of recruiting practices, the impact of technology and AI, and the vital role of content marketing in modern business development. Brandon is a driven and strategic thinker, someone who has continuously adapted to changes in the industry while remaining grounded in the fundamental principles of relationship-building. His story is a testament to the power of persistence, adaptability, and the human touch in an increasingly automated world.
