#ThursdayTip 👀 Why Staying Longer Than 2 Years Can Be Your Secret Career Weapon! 4 reasons employees should stay longer than 1–2 years ✔️ 1. Depth > Surface Skills The first year is usually just onboarding + learning systems. The real growth happens in years 2–3, when you’re trusted with bigger accounts, higher budgets, and more autonomy. Employers know that someone who has stayed long enough to see projects through from start to finish has real depth of experience, not just surface-level exposure. 🔥 2. Credibility & Resume Power 🔥 A track record of staying 3–5 years shows hiring managers you can commit, adapt, and grow. When you hop too fast, it raises red flags (“Will they leave us in 18 months too?”). Longevity = leverage for negotiating both title and salary in your next move. 🤩 3. Relationships Compound Over Time In events and hospitality, client and vendor trust is gold. Staying longer allows you to build strong networks, repeat business, and authentic partnerships. Quick exits mean you never fully cash in on those relationships — and those networks are often what land your biggest future opportunities. 🤑 4. Opportunities Often Come to the “Stayers” Promotions, special projects, international travel, or leadership chances usually go to people who have proven their loyalty and capability. Jumping ship too early can mean you leave right before the company invests in you (raises, leadership tracks, mentorship). #candidatetips #shannonconnexrecruiting

#FridayFix (Quick insights or tips to “fix” common hiring/event pain points) ❓ Event companies: why use a recruiter instead of hiring on your own? Because in this industry, the right people make or break your business. Here’s what using the Shannon Connex team brings to the table: ⚡ Time back — so your team can focus on winning clients, not chasing resumes. ⚡ Hidden talent — the best candidates aren’t applying, they’re already crushing it onsite. ⚡ Industry expertise — we know the difference between “I planned events” and “I ran a $2M activation start to finish and created the ROS.” ⚡ Faster, stronger hires — because the cost of a bad hire is way higher than a recruiter’s fee. ⚡ Scalability & discretion — from one hire to a whole team, even confidential searches. Think about it: your clients don’t plan their own conferences. They hire you because you bring expertise, efficiency, and flawless execution. 👉 That’s exactly why event companies partner with Shannon Connex for their hires. If your next great account manager, producer, designer, GM or director is still out there, let’s talk. DM me or comment below — I’ll help you find the talent that keeps your clients coming back.
