Inspiring Stories 038 - Dan Fenwick
Dan is on a mission to standardise 'a life-enhancing recruitment experience'. His experiences as a child and transformation becoming a parent himself have led to the emergence of a man committed to finding purpose, in passionately and joyfully pursuing his potential – and carving a path for others to do the same.
Growing up in the UK seaside town of Morecambe required Dan to hustle his way through school and this entrepreneurialism has seen him climb sales leader boards, set up businesses and grow companies – namely in automotive, marketing services and management consulting.
Previously as MD of a leading management consultancy, CMO of a Berlin-based Leadership Development company, Founder of a community-driven physical and mental health and wellness CIC (Community Interest Company) and now Co-Founder at Venture 10 – Talent Matchmaking Specialists, Dan spends his time developing winning strategies, building all things Sales and Marketing – from systems, to teams, to brands – and coaching leaders to think bigger, be better and go bolder. You can connect with him on LinkedIn or email him directly.
In this episode we talk about:
How recruiters can help you in your career strategy and what information you should take to a potential recruiter. Why large organisations, not just small ones, outsource recruitment. What to look out for when aligning to a recruitment agency. Find out more:
