The chances of that are slim. You're in the same boat. And I just want to say as well, you don't share anything publicly. And obviously, if people are celebrating sober success on LinkedIn, you know, you can go and say congratulations. People don't need to follow it back to you, especially those who are in early days.
What happens when a seasoned recruiter decides to shake things up and build a supportive community for sober professionals? In this episode of 'The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast', host Lysha Holmes sits down with Pete Watson, the founder of Mint Recruitment R2R in Melbourne, Australia. With a career spanning over two decades, Pete takes us through his journey from IT recruitment to establishing a niche in the rec-to-rec world back in 2004.
But that's not all—Pete is also the voice behind the 'Recruitment Journeys' podcast and the creator of The Recruiter's Wagon, a unique community for recruiters who choose to live alcohol-free lives. Pete dives into the nuances of the Australian recruitment market, sharing practical advice for those curious about sobriety and looking for inclusivity in their professional lives. His candid reflections on balancing a successful career while maintaining sobriety offer invaluable lessons for recruiters at any stage.
Whether you're a veteran in the industry or just starting out, Pete's story is both inspiring and empowering, providing a fresh perspective on what it means to thrive in recruitment while staying true to yourself.
