WEBVTT - DHR's Branthover: Highly Skilled Tech Workers in Demand (Audio)

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>US Open Tennis Stay two. Jenny Brandover is here partner

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>at d h R International, Executive search company, to talk

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>about what she's seeing in the job market. GENI welcome back. Well,

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I love being here with you. Well, you wouldn't miss it.

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>The girl who grew up next door to Bobby Riggs

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and learned to play tennis as a child and has

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>loved it ever since. Absolutely so. We know a lot

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of people from Wall Street come to the Open. I

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>want to know a year almost ago, Cheenie, you are

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>at the end of last year, we're saying Wall Street

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna do more hiring this year? Have they? Did

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they pick up the pace? Yet? Everybody picked up the pace.

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 1>We're busier at DT International. We're busier than I think

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>we've been since two thousand and seven. It's unbelievable. I

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>know the jobs report didn't really reflect that, but the

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>c e o s are really driven to build revenue

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and they do that through their talent. So we're seeing

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable mans of hiring right now. Is there any part

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of Wall Street? Is it on the tech side where

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>people want to compete with fintech? Is it on the

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>cybersecurity side? Is it on the sales side, is it trading,

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Where do you see the most really

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>all of that, but where we see the most growth

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>period is in technology and financial services with technology. So

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>either it's in financial services where they are revving up

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>their technology, or it's in fintech, or it's in technology itself.

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And really what it's about when you think about it,

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>big data, right, huge amounts of data every one of

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>these companies have, and then it expands beyond financial services.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>We're talking healthcare, We're talking other industries that are also

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>hiring these people. So the trend that we're seeing hugely

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is everything in technology from PhDs, you know, data scientists,

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>search scientists. They want the best and don't forget technology

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>is the driving factor for product. So our companies having

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to offer higher salaries, more pay or are people still

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>at the point where they're just happy to get a

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>good job at a confirm. Those days are way behind

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>us right now. I mean, clearly a lot of people

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>are just happy to be employed. But the reality of

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>it is if you are a person with talent in

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>technology and through what you do it can build revenue,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you will be in demand and you will get a

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>higher salary. So it's very competitive in the Silicon Valley

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to New York. They're everywhere now, so it's not just

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in one region. Are we not seeing as reflected more

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>in the broad national job support that covers all industries

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 1>because these are high skilled jobs, and these are the

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of jobs that are coveted at the same time

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>not often filled, and people without the skills just don't

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>even just don't even qualify, you know. That's actually one

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of the problems. People have to change their skill sets.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>What I'm always trying to advise young people in school

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>all the way to people that are very experienced, You've

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>got to be today's person, and that I don't care

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're a CFO, a CEO, anything, you are a

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>technology driven person. So uh, in terms of tech more

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>broadly than fintech, you still seeing demand there absolutely the

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>same kinds of people all the firms are looking for

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>because that's where they're going to get their market share.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>And if they have the best product, which is technology driven,

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be the best. Quickly coding should I

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>learn coding doesn't make anything? And I should well, okay,

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and this summer beginning of autumn that we're just gonna

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>get together and code like crazy. We'll come up with

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a whole new company on there. Hey, oh, don't tell

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>my boss that. Yeah, okay. Jenny brown O bran Over

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.799

<v Speaker 1>Flushing Queens in New York. We are going to take

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>a look now at some of the big features, some

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of the big themes at this year's Open. We have

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>two very special Shell guests. Jennie bran Over continues with us.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>She is a partner in DHR International. She helps important

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>people find big jobs on Wall Street and in technology,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and she's also an avid, avid tennis player in a Fionado.

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>She's out here every year for the Open and another

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>return engagement Richard Kent. He's an attorney. He's also covering

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the Open this year again part of the media, author

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of two books. The one I particularly want to focus

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>on is a federal Nadal. So Richard, welcome back, Thank you,

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. Well, let's start though Roger feder is

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>not here. Rafa Nadal is playing well despite his many

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>injuries of late, but American tennis. When I spoke to Nicolitieri,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Tennis Hall of Famer, he's the guy who did so

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>much to create tennis training. American tennis needs more investment

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>in its young players. Jack Sock is up in a

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>very important match, an American man actually advancing potentially, I

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to jink them at the Open. And Ryan

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Harrison in court seventeen with an unbelievable crowd behind him,

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>is tied in the second set against Marco Bagdadas well

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>us the first at six three. I mean, those are

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>two great hopes for American tennis. And Jared Donaldson a

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>great story in this Open. So what's wrong with American

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>tennis that we do not, especially on the men's side.

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>On apart from Serena and I guess we're sister anyway,

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't we don't get further like we used to. Well,

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if you asked me the question two years ago,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I would have said that young athletes are going into

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>other sports. Other sports that day deemed to be more

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>lucrative from day one, perhaps, like baseball or basketball or football.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>But if you're asking me today, with SoC on the

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>court at the at Louis Armstrong and with Ryan at

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that beautiful court seventeen, I've got to tell you, American

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>tennis looks really good right now and the crowd is ugeer,

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>so clearly people care about it. So I personally miss

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Federate terribly. So do you think it's the same kind

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of open that it was before without him? Actually, Federate

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>told me yesterday that he misses you before. Oh my god,

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>you're married my day. No, it is not the same

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>type of open as it was with Roger. And you

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>could just listen to interviews and I'll take two of them.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Stan Vavrinka obviously from Switzerland, Rodgers doubles partner in the Olympics,

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>not this time but in the previous times, and Raphael

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the Doubt. In their post match interviews they incorporate Roger's name,

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>so it shows how significant he is to the game.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Snow his Labor Cup, which was announced the Wednesday before

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the Open started, is you just being discussed in the

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>media room all the time. Europe against the rest of

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the world in Czechoslovakia Prague next October, and that's a

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>federal run event. His agency with Tony Godsick, is running it.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So Federer is somewhere around the numbers of this event

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, even though he's I don't think he's on

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>premises today. Well, I do think personally that he just

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>changed tennis and how people wanted to watch him, and

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>they respected him, and he gave an incredible image at

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>a very senior level to mentor correctly in tennis. So

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>he's missed. Can you imagine and going to Wimbledon as

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I have for a Murray Federer match and having the

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>crowd root for Federer. I mean that that is that's

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>almost incredulous. And and let me give you the other example,

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's right here, I believe in oh five when

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Roddick was playing Federer in the final, Roder went ballistic

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>after saying, this is my country. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm the University of Nebraska football fan, and this crowd

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>is for Roger Federer and Tiger Woods, of all people

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>is sitting in Federer's box, which is unbelievable. So what

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>about this year? What do you think in terms of

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna who's gonna come out the victor? Well, I

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>picked uh in my bracket challenge uh Andy Murray to

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>wint it. I think he's playing the best tennis right now.

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Um I would have said forty two minutes ago that

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Chilich was a strong favorite to wint it. He's good

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>chance of losing the sock today. And del Potro has

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>far and away the best forehand in tennis, even if

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Roger was in the game. And in terms of popularity

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>though and revenues, though, do we need to have another Roger?

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Editor her? And hopefully you know, I mean, I'm not

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>just in Novak, Djokovic or Rapa who's still playing, But

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>do you have to because all these guys are getting older,

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>do we need a youngster like that coming up? And

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>same thing on the women's side, Serena is not gonna

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>play forever. I think in terms of do we need

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>another Roger Federer, it's really the big four and it

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>was the Big four previously with Lyndell, McEnroe, Borg and

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Connors and now obviously Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Federer. So

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's it's more than Roger. It's it's the fact that

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>he's a part of the big four. So you know,

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>if if it was a Roger isolated in two years

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.599
<v Speaker 1>with no clear definable number two or number three, I

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think that would do much for the game. Right Well,

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 1>how about the women's side, what are you thinking? I'm

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>thinking Serena is gonna win this. I'm thinking there's a

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure that was taken off of her by

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>win in Wimbledon. I think she's got a real chip

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>on her shoulder because of what happened last year against Vinci.

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I I don't know how this is gonna sound.

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that Vinci won that match. I think

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Serena lost that match, and I think Serena is gonna winness.

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I love Madison Keys, who's playing right now. I think

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>she won the first set. I'm not sure at the

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>score in the second set, but she's a She's going

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to be a great, great player, and woes Niaki is

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot better. I watched her in New Haven

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 1>some eight days ago, who was in the first day,

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and I said, she's done. And now it looks like

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the woes Niaki who was number one in the world

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>for eight weeks at one point in time, little known

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>fact of old. Do you think the Olympics are going

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to affect Serena at all emotionally or mentally in what way? Well,

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 1>she didn't. She didn't really do that. Well, correct, I

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's long behind. Okay, so you know what, I'm

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a normal person, she's not, so I guess that doesn't

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>affect her. And now I went to her opening press

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>conference and it's it's in like an issue. The Olympics

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>are huge, obviously, uh, but I don't think that's going

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to impair Serrina's performance. All right, well, just getting started.

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.320
