Roy Schuhmacher 💪🏼's Linkedin Analytics

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I found myself closing up my 12-year journey building a successful fitness business with my wife. With dozens of employees, 5 locations & 7 figures in ARR now being forced to shutdown, I felt lost. So, I turned to LinkedIn to find a new path for my life and started building a network. Fast forward 6 months, I "broke" into tech sales as a 35-year-old SDR at a fast-moving start-up out of San Francisco in the HR/TA Tech space. Applying my entrepreneurial grit & grind approach, I quickly adapted to this new environment, moving into an AE role and full cycle selling. With a healthy run of success over the next 15 months we were acquired by a Talent CRM company in London, moving me into a more complex role selling into the global enterprise TA/HR market. I then found an opportunity to lead a team for a long-standing recruitment marketing firm, running enterprise sales for the West Coast and sales enablement for North America, which was cut short when I faced the first layoff of my life. Shortly after I found ERIN and joined their enterprise team, automating and optimizing employee referral programs for organizations globally. My path in HR/TA tech finally lead me to a giant in the space, HireVue, connecting talent to opportunity for some of the world's largest organizations on their enterprise team! Moral of the story? Don't get too comfortable. Tomorrow might throw you a curveball. Just show up every day, smile and give it 100%. If you've read this far, let's connect! 💪🏼
