Overcoming Epilepsy & How to Hire with Michael King - Ep. 46

Episode notes

Michael King is one of the leading marketing executive recruiters working today and is also the author of a new book, Be There When I Return, a memoir of epilepsy, love, and success. Michael joins co-hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to discuss his personal journey with both epilepsy and his career, along with crucial career advice for marketing leaders looking for their next roles. Michael shares how the CEO should factor into your job search, why you shouldn’t chase titles, and the state of the job market for B2B marketing executives. Also, Craig tries out a new look and Matt relives an epic beach party in Vegas. Critical Takeaways Ensure the people you hire have relevant experience at companies similar in size and stage to your own. Avoid hiring someone just because they’ve been part of a larger company’s success unless their role aligns directly with what your company needs now. Chase companies over titles. Titles shouldn't be the defining factor when considering new positions. Joining a strong, growing company should be the priority as it offers career growth opportunities in the long run.
