A Different Way to Build: Open Letter to gpac recruiters

Dear gpac Recruiters:

You may have recently received internal communication regarding "former recruiters" reaching out.

I want to address this directly and professionally.

Movement in this industry is inevitable. That’s because recruiters are professionals — not property. Every recruiter-indeed every human- has the right to explore opportunities, evaluate culture, and decide what environment aligns best with their goals.

At Solid Rock Recruiting, we’re building something very intentional:

• Recruiter-owned desks
• Clear systems without micromanagement
• Stable, consistent standards — not constantly shifting rules
• Leadership access and real voice
• Transparent and best in industry compensation - our recruiters keep most of their commission from day 1
• Culture built on integrity, honesty, and hustle

We don’t believe people are tools to be managed or assets to be controlled. We believe high performers thrive when trusted, supported, and aligned.

We are not trying to trap anyone.
We are not trying to intimidate anyone.
We are building a business that people choose to be part of.

We built Solid Rock to be faster, more agile, and more human-centered: built by recruiters, for recruiters.

If you’re thriving where you are, stay and win.
If you’re curious about a different model built around ownership and culture, We are always happy to have a confidential conversation.

No pressure. Just clarity.

Wishing you continued success,

John Chisham and Shaun Boen
