1 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:09.209 Josh Feinberg: Challenge In our area, our direct area, because 2 00:00:09.209 --> 00:00:16.739 the hiring pool is so, so small, that we're unable to really have 3 00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:21.209 that reach, right? I mean, we're in our location for a reason. We 4 00:00:21.209 --> 00:00:25.409 love Rochester. But unfortunately, just the hiring 5 00:00:25.409 --> 00:00:29.099 pool and the amount of people that we have in this area. It's 6 00:00:29.099 --> 00:00:33.299 just tough. We try to have group interviews, you know, every 7 00:00:33.329 --> 00:00:38.999 every quarter. And we do have between five and 10 come in at a 8 00:00:38.999 --> 00:00:44.099 time. But at the end of the day, right, we, we look for for 9 00:00:44.099 --> 00:00:45.239 quality over quantity. 10 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.480 Cornelius: Just speak to James, Flynn. Hi, James, how you doing? 11 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:53.310 It's Cornelius with Everlasting Capital. 12 00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:55.440 James: Hi, how are you? 13 00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.050 Cornelius: I'm doing good man. So I just received your resume 14 00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:03.090 on indeed.com. Perfect, it was perfect timing. We're having a 15 00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:05.250 group interview today at two o'clock, because that's 16 00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:12.660 something you'd be able to make? The biggest problem that I see 17 00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:16.290 that we have hiring or finding people to work for Everlasting 18 00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:19.980 Capital is the lack of knowledge on business financing and 19 00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.760 equipment financing. And it's hard to get people excited and 20 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.000 on an industry that they're not familiar with. If they had more 21 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.450 information on what we do, I feel it would be easier to get 22 00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:34.590 them excited to want to jump right in and be a part of 23 00:01:34.590 --> 00:01:37.320 Everlasting Capital. So what is your suggestion that we can do 24 00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:44.670 on our end, maybe educate a little bit more, in our ads and 25 00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:48.270 in our looks for trying to find employees, try to educate them 26 00:01:48.270 --> 00:01:51.150 on the industry, and let them know why it's an exciting 27 00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:51.750 industry. 28 00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:55.650 Unknown: So the problem of finding good employees right now 29 00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:58.680 is that everybody wants the easy buck. Nobody wants to put in the 30 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.340 hard work to do it. They come in, you see everybody 31 00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.270 succeeding. And you think it's easy. And it is easy once you 32 00:02:06.270 --> 00:02:10.110 get it. But it's not easy at the beginning and you stay grinding 33 00:02:10.110 --> 00:02:13.650 every single day. Thank you. The minute you fall off, you fall 34 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:18.660 off. And the problem is most people don't have that in and to 35 00:02:18.660 --> 00:02:21.270 find somebody that's going to work out here. You need to find 36 00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:25.320 somebody who's dedicated, committed 100% Because you are 37 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:28.740 responsible for yourself, and you'll succeed if you have the 38 00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:32.070 hard work and determination. It's not a catchphrase. It's not 39 00:02:32.070 --> 00:02:33.750 a slogan. It's real life.
