Everyone is looking for employees right now.  It may even be your single biggest challenge to growth.  That's how we felt, but not anymore.  We've made fundamental changes to our business that have allowed us to staff significant growth over the last three years.  In fact, Getting good at looking for Employees and keeping them landed Endsight back on the Inc. 5000 after a multi year absence.

Welcome to the Jason Clause Show. I'm Jason Clause, your host, and today I'm going to get a little braggadocious. I am. It's going to be obnoxious.

Welcome to the Jason Clause Show. My name's Jason Clause fittingly and I'm your host. My experience is that the best leaders and managers out there, they're idea collectors. They're always on the lookout for great ways to help motivate their team, to build a culture, to help their people get from where they are to where they want to be, and that's what this podcast is dedicated to. It's about trying to find those ideas and share those ideas with a growing community of local leaders.

I got a great episode today. I'm going to be talking about something, and I know I led off I'm going to be braggadocious and I'm going to be obnoxious. I'm going to try not to do either of those two things really, but I do have a big announcement. Endsight, after a long absence, has reappeared on the Inc. 5000 list of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the United States. We were on it once upon a time, we haven't been on it for a while and we've returned to the list and I'm super excited and satisfied about that, and that probably by itself could warrant a podcast episode. But this episode is about some ideas that we had to come up with and implement in the business, from a talent and performance perspective, from a recruitment and retention perspective, that would allow us to fuel the growth that we have. Because our real challenge was not finding new clients, our real challenge was looking for people. And I think that probably resonates with you guys and we're going to get into it right after this.

All right, welcome back from the break. So, like I said, the headline here is, After a Long Absence. The last time we were on this list was 2013, so after a multiple year absence on this list Endsight has returned to the Inc. 5000 5,000 fastest growing companies in the country. We were ranked 4,103, so we're not even dead last, we're respectable in the bottom quadrant there,
