   #271 Inc500 Fastest Growing Companies in America (2021) Why Recruiters Are Key Strategic Partners for Any Growing Business with Jordan Franklin, CEO at Stratice, LLC

   Staffing is one of the most important aspects of growing a business but can also be one of the most challenging. Not only do employers need to find suitable candidates, but they also need to make sure that those candidates are a good fit for the company culture and will be able to hit the ground running. That's where recruiters come in. A good recruiter will have a vast network of stellar candidates to choose from, and they will also have the expertise necessary to evaluate each candidate's skills, experience, and personality. As a result, working with a recruiter is often the best way for business owners to find the high-quality employees they need to take their business to the next level. Join our guest, Jordan Franklin, CEO at Stratice LLC, as she shares an in-depth look at the role of recruiters in helping companies attract top talent and her secrets on how she grew her company by 103% in just three years. Top Takeaways: 00:50 What Stratice is doing on the lead generation side to bring on clients 07:21 What an org structure looks like in a staffing agency 09:24 The avatar of the ideal recruiter 11:27 What a day in the life of a recruiter looks like 13:36 The cost of hiring a recruiter 17:42 How Jordan found their niche working with the I.T./Automation Engineering Industry 19:28 The greatest secret to snapping talent from your competitors 20:40 What you need to do to prevent your team from being stolen away 21:50 Is it an excellent strategy to create social media profiles on behalf of your employees? 24:37 Creative things companies are doing to attract people to work for them 27:47 How business owners can overcome challenges with minimum requirements for 401k and insurance 32:48 How bootstrapped tech companies should deal with recruiting 34:31 A big engine to Stratice’s growth (besides networking) To get in touch with Jordan Franklin, go to: Website: https://mystratice.com/ (https://mystratice.com/) and https://my-gumption.com/ (https://my-gumption.com/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mystratice/ (https://www.instagram.com/mystratice/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mystratice/ (https://www.facebook.com/mystratice/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/mystratice (https://twitter.com/mystratice) About the guest: In her youth, Jordan Franklin dreamed of becoming a doctor because she believed that it would be the only way to help people. She got her degree in Chemistry but somehow ended up working for a staffing agency. She then realized that there was another way to help people without spending a lot of money to get a doctorate. Jordan likes to sit next to people she doesn’t know, strike up a conversation with them, and ask them what they do. She believes that building your network is how you build your net worth. And since she’s in the staffing industry, this “party trick” has worked for her. Today, Jordan Franklin is the CEO at Stratice, LLC, a women-owned talent management firm. They offer specialized plans with the goal of connecting employers with exceptional talents that are the right fit for their organization.

   #349 Inc500 Fastest Growing Companies in America (2021): How to Propel Your Growth Through Affiliation, with Keegan Caldwell, Managing Partner at Caldwell Intellectual Property Law

   For many businesses, patents protect more than just an idea or a concept. It also safeguards true business assets that are critical to a company’s existence in the long term. Aside from the protection it provides, patents can also be used as leverage to give companies a competitive advantage. It can also drive revenues and profitability, which in some cases, could turn into 9 to 10-figure monetization events. That is why every growing company, regardless if they choose to pursue a patent or not, should have an Intellectual Property (IP) strategy to help them develop, grow, leverage, and monetize their portfolio of IP assets such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc. However, with technological innovations happening rapidly and a new “shiny” object being invented almost every day, what seems logical to get patented now could become obsolete tomorrow. In this case, would a patent still be worth it? Or will it be just another piece of very expensive paper? We are pleased to hear from Keegan Caldwell, Managing Partner at Caldwell Intellectual Property Law, as he shares his insights on patent-related matters and his unique journey from struggling with narcotics addiction, to having a Ph.D. in chemistry, to building the #1 fastest-growing law firm in the country. Top Takeaways: 05:48 One of the sad things about law firms 06:27 How Keegan got his first client 11:01 How Keegan grew his business 16:13 What most successful people have in common 19:11 The value of morale in building a unicorn company 21:30 How to define if something is or isn’t patentable 25:51 How to determine a patent’s value 28:59 The potential dangers of not having your innovations patented 34:21 How much does it cost to get something patented 40:44 Why every company needs an IP strategy 43:47 What the patent system was initially created for 51:19 Keegan’s advice for someone who is planning to become an attorney 54.35 The most exciting invention from Keegan’s current clients To get in touch with Keegan Caldwell, go to Website: https://caldwellip.com/ (https://caldwellip.com/) About the guest: After finishing high school, Keegan Caldwell joined the Marines and worked as an engineer. He got into the construction business for a couple of years when he got out. Unfortunately, this was also when he had some substance abuse issues and got into legal trouble. Eventually, he was able to turn his life around and got the help he needed. With his grandmother’s advice, he went to college to take up biomedical science and earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. While doing his Ph.D., he worked as an intern in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He discovered he could become a patent lawyer without going to law school. Upon graduating with his Ph.D., he decided to take the Patent Bar and pass. But Keegan didn't want to be limited to Patent Law. Certain states in the US allow one to take the state bar without going to law school. So he took the state bar and is now a full-pledged lawyer. Today, Keegan Caldwell is a Managing Partner at Caldwell Intellectual Property Law. They provide technical expertise and post-grant experience to help organizations convert innovation into defensible intellectual property.
