Shownotes
If, over the course of the last year, you’ve come to enjoy working from home and don’t want to have to revert to the daily commute into the office. Or if you’re scaling a business and wondering how you can attract the right level of skill and experience without having to hire someone full time. Then don’t miss Romanie Thomas, an experienced headhunter, founder and CEO of Juggle Jobs, a platform connecting businesses with high-quality professionals on a flexible basis.
Founded in 2017, Juggle Jobs is for people who have more to offer scaling businesses than simply their skills and experience. They understand and appreciate the need to be flexible and are prepared to roll their sleeves up and muck in, helping out where necessary.
Romanie, an experienced headhunter, realised while there are plenty of platforms for low level, entry positions, there aren’t many offering these sorts of flexible opportunities to mid to high level roles.
Seeing a gap in the market, she created a platform to help women who don't want to work full time, get access to great jobs. Very quickly, she realised that this wasn't a gender issue, this was a matching skills to jobs and helping people facilitate a portfolio career issue.
In today’s episode, she talks about the implications of remote first versus office culture versus hybrid. What might that look like? What's the best? What's the worst? What's the best of the worst? And she shares what it's like to be a digital nomad. Where she's been and where she's worked from, and what lessons she's learned along the way. This is a fantastic conversation with a fantastic founder.
