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

How long have you been with Planet Technology?

I have been with Planet for 6 months.

How have you grown in your career so far?

I’ve grown in my career by deeply understanding my clients’ needs and aligning them with the right Workday solutions. My approach is to actively listen and focus on their immediate requirements rather than presenting all our offerings upfront. Building trust by delivering value first creates opportunities to expand later. The key to my success has been genuinely enjoying my work and fostering meaningful relationships with clients, always striving to help them achieve their goals with impactful solutions.

What originally got you interested in working here?

I became interested in working here because of the great feedback I had received from friends but also the business model and our overall Workday Partnership.

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

This career is all about effort and mindset—what you put in is what you get out. Adopting a “do the work, expect to win” attitude is essential. To succeed, you must genuinely enjoy your work, embrace a competitive edge, and be willing to step out of your comfort zone to learn and grow. Understanding that your success is entirely in your hands makes this industry unique, with the potential to transform your life in meaningful and positive ways.

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

Our company thrives on a culture of collaboration and excellence, consistently striving to achieve success and outperform expectations every single day.

What is your favorite fun event or gift you got from Planet Technology?

My favorite fun event was our Golf Tournament this past Summer!

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

We provide a comprehensive, flexible model tailored to meet all your resource needs. As a true one-stop shop, our solutions are designed to consistently adapt and deliver value for our customers time and time again.

How supportive has Planet Technology been in allowing you to achieve your own personal goals?

Since day one, Planet Technology has provided me with an incredible platform to thrive as a leader, ensuring not only my own success but also the success of my team and those around me. The most rewarding part of my journey has been feeling valued and heard—Planet Technology fosters an environment where contributions are truly appreciated, making my experience both fulfilling and inspiring.

Where do you think your career can progress with the TPG

I see my career evolving into leadership roles that allow me to significantly contribute to our company’s growth and future success. By building on my experience, I aim to drive impactful strategies that support both individual and organizational progress, shaping a brighter tomorrow.

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

Bali is a dream destination because of its breathtaking beauty, vibrant culture, and incredible experiences.

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

One thing my clients might not know about me is that I have a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Although I loved the technical challenges of engineering, my natural enthusiasm for connecting with people and building relationships led me to pivot into a career where I could interact more directly with others. This shift has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, allowing me to truly embrace my passion for helping people succeed.
