Recruiting for yourself
“I was comfortable, did a good job and built a big desk and loyal client relationships at my last employer. I took a chance to join PJ and can’t recommend it highly enough.I went from earning a fraction of what my desk billed, to taking home tens of thousands within months. Not only that, I now have more flexibility and no silly KPI’s or distractions to worry about, so my service is now even better.”

Applying The Mamba Mentality in recruitment
The Mamba Mentality is a mindset that emphasises the importance of relentless effort and a commitment to continuous improvement. It involves a focus on the process rather than the outcome, and an unwavering dedication to achieving one’s goals.
Fearless
Kobe Bryant, the legendary basketballer, exemplified this trait. Despite early setbacks he persevered and refused to allow failure to define him. Fear is temporary, but regret lasts forever. Like Bryant, we aim to be fearless in our pursuits.
Relentless
Bryant once wrote, “You asked for my hustle, I gave you my heart.” Whether it’s on the court, in business, to us that means doing whatever it takes to support our people, regardless of circumstances.
Progression
The Mamba Mentality is about getting better every day. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about progress. Bryant was relentless in mastering his craft and rising above challenges. Whether you’re a leader or just starting out, this mindset demands constant growth.
Obsession
The Mamba Mentality prioritises professional goals over a balanced life. It’s about playing without fear, mastering your skills, and not just aiming to win but to dominate. Bryant’s obsession with excellence fuelled his success.
The Mamba Mentality is a mindset that emphasises the importance of relentless effort and a commitment to continuous improvement. It involves a focus on the process rather than the outcome, and an unwavering dedication to achieving one’s goals. That's what we aspire to at Potter Johnson and we hope you'll join us on the journey!
