“Work on the things that you are exceptional at to become completely dominant at them. Why waste time focusing on becoming mediocre? Which is essentially working on your weaknesses.”
This week on Strivin & Thrivin I sat down with Steve Grace, Founder of The Nudge Group and recruitment expert. The Nudge Group offers a holistic People Partner Model for early stage and established businesses going through rapid growth.
Steve has been in recruitment most of his life (except one brief and unsuccessful attempt at a pro tennis career). Not only is he a recruitment expert, but his experience in both starting his own business and investing in the business of others gives him unique insights into what both candidates and clients are looking for from the recruitment experience.
Steve explains how he, like many, stumbled into a recruitment job and it ended up becoming his career.
“I wandered into a recruitment company called Computer People and said, "Can you get me a job? I like computers." And they said, "No. But how about you come and work for us? You've got no skills in terms of computers, so we can't find you a job there. But how about you come work for us?" And I was like, "Sure."
Following a short stint at an unsuitable role In London, Steve decided to move to Australia as a means to excuse the short-held position to future employees- as good a reason as I’ve ever heard for relocating. The term “all's well that ends well” springs to mind as Steve never moved back.
This was only the beginning of his story. There were a lot of twists and turns, from joining a startup called Junk Food that aimed to put cereal in every office in the city, to a Chinese tourism business.  Steve’s experience is varied and valuable and inevitably gave him the foundations to take the plunge and become the sole founder of his own successful recruitment group, The Nudge Group.
