We’re highlighting some of the amazing people who make up our Planet. Today, let’s get to know Casey Larson with our Planet Technology team.

How long have you been with Planet Technology?

I’ve been with Planet Technology for 7 years now, and soon it’ll be 8.

How have you grown in your career with Planet Technology?

When I first joined, I didn’t have much experience in the Core Technology IT space. Over the years, I’ve grown significantly through training and personal development. I’ve built a deep understanding of the industry and now have the opportunity to mentor new hires. Stepping into a lead role has allowed me to help others grow in their careers, which has been incredibly rewarding.

What originally got you interested in working here?

Before Planet Technology, I was in the staffing industry, but I really wanted to focus more on sales. When I interviewed with the leadership team, I was inspired by their entrepreneurial mindset and the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. That’s what drew me in.

What’s your favorite part of the workday?

Building relationships, whether internal or external, is my favorite part of the day. Even though much of our work is virtual, I still get to connect with clients, specialists, colleagues, and peers on both personal and professional levels. It’s those relationships that make the workday fulfilling.

What has been your career highlight at Planet Technology so far?

One of the biggest highlights has been stepping into a lead role where I get to mentor and support up-and-coming sales professionals. Helping others grow, solve problems, and succeed in their roles has been incredibly fulfilling.

What advice would you give to individuals looking to enter the recruitment industry?

If you have strong time management, an outgoing personality, and are self-motivated, recruitment can be a great fit. Patience is key because the industry has its ups and downs, but if you’re willing to learn, pivot, and keep pushing forward, you’ll find success. Staying up to date with new technologies and industry trends is crucial too.

In one sentence, why should someone consider a career at Planet Technology?

If you want to work somewhere that supports your growth and truly helps you succeed, Planet Technology is the place to be.

What is your favorite fun event or gift you’ve received from Planet Technology?

My favorite event was Planet Day this past year. A bunch of us that live near each other got together and went golfing. It was a blast!

Why do you think the Planet Technology model makes the business so successful?

Our model allows for a variety of personalities to find success. It’s adaptable and supportive of different styles and approaches, which has been key to our growth.

How supportive has Planet Technology been in helping you achieve your personal goals?

Planet Technology has been incredibly supportive in helping me reach my personal and professional goals. The company provides opportunities for growth, and I’ve been able to take on more responsibilities and expand my leadership skills.

Where do you see your career progressing with Planet Technology?

I see opportunities for leadership, continued growth in sales, and exploring new markets we haven’t yet tapped into. I’m excited about the potential for both personal and company growth.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why?

I would love to visit Europe, especially Spain, because of its rich history and incredible castles. It’s definitely on my travel bucket list.

One thing my candidates or clients don’t know about me is…

I am a huge fan of ice cream. I could eat it every day if given the chance!
