A recruiter hired a trainee earning £40,000 who showed up in a brand-new Hummer, revealing a common problem: many trainees are bankrolled by parents and lack hunger for commission work. Houston's also losing young talent to Austin, New York, and California, shrinking the pool of people willing to take entry-level recruiting jobs.

Chapters

I remember the first trainee we ever hired. She turned up in a brand new Hummer. I mean, she had the best car in the office earning £40,000 a year. So we were hiring people who were actually quite well off. They had parents that were able to subsidise the car payments, the phone payment. They were still living at home. They had no bills to pay. So they're taking home £3,000 a month and they're laughing with it. So they didn't need to earn commission. And I think when I look at other cities like Houston, just has a negative migration of young professionals. Anyone that's a young professional, they typically go Austin, they go New York, they'll go out to California, they'll go Florida. So they're not staying in Houston. And that was it. The demographic we wanted to build around just wasn't there.
