By Ashlee Boyce
In this episode of On the Clock // Off the Record, we sit down with Oliver Feakins, CEO and President of TrackFive, to dive into his 17 years of experience in the staffing industry. Oliver shares insights on transparency, growth, and the human side of staffing that are sure to resonate with professionals across industries.
On the Clock
Oliver emphasizes the importance of breaking out of the healthcare staffing echo chamber. While it’s easy to focus solely on your niche, there’s immense value in exploring other types of staffing industries. By learning from their successes and challenges, we can identify what to improve and what to leave unchanged.
He also reminds us that travelers are more than just leads, metrics, or KPIs. They’re humans with unique stories, goals, and needs. By focusing on quality over quantity—finding better leads instead of more leads—we can build stronger, more meaningful connections.
Off the Record
On a personal level, Oliver encourages us to take a hard look at ourselves. Growth, both professional and personal, starts with accepting others’ perceptions of us and using that feedback to improve.
He also touches on the challenges of maintaining a strong workplace culture, especially in hybrid or remote environments. Feeling isolated? Small actions like turning on your camera during meetings, asking questions, and staying engaged can make a big difference.
At the heart of Oliver’s message is a simple yet powerful idea: “Better together than we are apart.” Whether it’s in the workplace or the staffing industry, collaboration and connection are key to success.
