CEO
Jay Veniard spent eight years playing professional baseball with Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, and Tampa Bay Rays as a left-handed pitcher, arguably the most mentally demanding position on the field.
His baseball career was the catalyst to building an elite, peak performance mindset that allowed him to transition into the recruiting industry in 2004 and immediately take home Rookie of the Year and Top Biller honors in his first two years in the business.
Throughout Jay’s career, he has been a consistent Top Biller and has built two separate recruiting firms in 2008 and 2017, along with several other entrepreneurial ventures with his wife, Jessica.
In 2020, Jay started a coaching business specifically for recruiters where he teaches mindset and peak performance to help recruiters get unstuck, develop a peak performance mindset, and increase billings by 2x to 5x.
He has a passion for coaching and giving back to the recruiting community, and the goal of his coaching program is to level up the persona of recruiters worldwide and make our industry much more respected in the business community.
Jay and his wife Jessica have 5 daughters, 5 dogs, and a lot of wine and whiskey. He enjoys playing beer league ice hockey, health & fitness, and traveling.
