Find out What Veteran CEO RICK DAVIDSON Focuses On During Uncertain Times
It’s a great day to recruit, and thanks for joining us as we kick-off our fall season of the Recruiting Insight podcast.
When the storm clouds start gathering on the horizon, it’s helpful to connect with some seasoned executives who have led real estate organizations through difficult times.
This week, we’ll be strategizing with Rich Davidson, the founder and CEO of Cairn Real Estate Holdings.
Cairn is a nationwide real estate investment firm focused on building a network of industry leading companies and professionals.
They currently operate in more than 70 locations, have more than 4000 agents, and completed over 30,000 transactions last year. And honestly, they’re just getting started.
Prior to starting Cairn, Rick was the Global CEO of Century 21 for seven years. In this role, he was responsible for the health and wellbeing of a network that spanned 80 countries, had 8000 offices, and 125,000 sales professionals.
At the same time, he served at the chairman of Easterseals—the largest health service charity in America which cares for 1.6M individuals each year.
As you might have guessed, none of these achievements happen without inspiring all types of individuals to get behind a vision and work towards something much bigger than one person could possibly achieve.
Is this not the essence of recruiting? I think it is, so let’s jump in and see what we can today learn from Rick’s achievements.
