US Open Tennis Stay two. Jenny Brandover is here partner at d h R International, Executive search company, to talk about what she's seeing in the job market. GENI welcome back. Well, I love being here with you. Well, you wouldn't miss it. The girl who grew up next door to Bobby Riggs and learned to play tennis as a child and has loved it ever since. Absolutely so. We know a lot
of people from Wall Street come to the Open. I want to know a year almost ago, Cheenie, you are at the end of last year, we're saying Wall Street is gonna do more hiring this year? Have they? Did they pick up the pace? Yet? Everybody picked up the pace. We're busier at DT International. We're busier than I think we've been since two thousand and seven. It's unbelievable. I know the jobs report didn't really reflect that, but the c e o s are really driven to build revenue
and they do that through their talent. So we're seeing unbelievable mans of hiring right now. Is there any part of Wall Street? Is it on the tech side where people want to compete with fintech? Is it on the cybersecurity side? Is it on the sales side, is it trading, what is it? Where do you see the most really all of that, but where we see the most growth
period is in technology and financial services with technology. So either it's in financial services where they are revving up their technology, or it's in fintech, or it's in technology itself. And really what it's about when you think about it, big data, right, huge amounts of data every one of these companies have, and then it expands beyond financial services. We're talking healthcare, We're talking other industries that are also
hiring these people. So the trend that we're seeing hugely is everything in technology from PhDs, you know, data scientists, search scientists. They want the best and don't forget technology is the driving factor for product. So our companies having to offer higher salaries, more pay or are people still at the point where they're just happy to get a good job at a confirm. Those days are way behind us right now. I mean, clearly a lot of people
are just happy to be employed. But the reality of it is if you are a person with talent in technology and through what you do it can build revenue, you will be in demand and you will get a higher salary. So it's very competitive in the Silicon Valley to New York. They're everywhere now, so it's not just
in one region. Are we not seeing as reflected more in the broad national job support that covers all industries because these are high skilled jobs, and these are the kind of jobs that are coveted at the same time not often filled, and people without the skills just don't even just don't even qualify, you know. That's actually one of the problems. People have to change their skill sets.
What I'm always trying to advise young people in school all the way to people that are very experienced, You've got to be today's person, and that I don't care if you're a CFO, a CEO, anything, you are a technology driven person. So uh, in terms of tech more broadly than fintech, you still seeing demand there absolutely the same kinds of people all the firms are looking for because that's where they're going to get their market share.
And if they have the best product, which is technology driven, they're going to be the best. Quickly coding should I learn coding doesn't make anything? And I should well, okay, and this summer beginning of autumn that we're just gonna get together and code like crazy. We'll come up with a whole new company on there. Hey, oh, don't tell
my boss that. Yeah, okay. Jenny brown O bran Over continues as we continue our special live coverage here at the US Tennis Open, Day two, Taking Stock Bloomberg Radio. Richard Kent's back. He's the author of two books, one of them Federal Nadal, very important both those. Roger's not here and Dal's been doing surprisingly well. I'm Kathleen Hayes, and this is Bloomberg. You're listening to Taking Stock with Kathleen Hayes and Pim Fox on Bloomberg Radio D two.
Taking Stock Bloomberg Radio Live from the US Tennis Open, Flushing Queens in New York. We are going to take a look now at some of the big features, some of the big themes at this year's Open. We have two very special Shell guests. Jennie bran Over continues with us. She is a partner in DHR International. She helps important people find big jobs on Wall Street and in technology, and she's also an avid, avid tennis player in a Fionado. She's out here every year for the Open and another
return engagement Richard Kent. He's an attorney. He's also covering the Open this year again part of the media, author of two books. The one I particularly want to focus on is a federal Nadal. So Richard, welcome back, Thank you, I appreciate it. Well, let's start though Roger feder is not here. Rafa Nadal is playing well despite his many injuries of late, but American tennis. When I spoke to Nicolitieri, Tennis Hall of Famer, he's the guy who did so
much to create tennis training. American tennis needs more investment in its young players. Jack Sock is up in a very important match, an American man actually advancing potentially, I don't want to jink them at the Open. And Ryan Harrison in court seventeen with an unbelievable crowd behind him, is tied in the second set against Marco Bagdadas well us the first at six three. I mean, those are two great hopes for American tennis. And Jared Donaldson a
great story in this Open. So what's wrong with American tennis that we do not, especially on the men's side. On apart from Serena and I guess we're sister anyway, we don't we don't get further like we used to. Well, I think if you asked me the question two years ago, I would have said that young athletes are going into other sports. Other sports that day deemed to be more lucrative from day one, perhaps, like baseball or basketball or football.
But if you're asking me today, with SoC on the court at the at Louis Armstrong and with Ryan at that beautiful court seventeen, I've got to tell you, American tennis looks really good right now and the crowd is ugeer, so clearly people care about it. So I personally miss Federate terribly. So do you think it's the same kind of open that it was before without him? Actually, Federate told me yesterday that he misses you before. Oh my god, you're married my day. No, it is not the same
type of open as it was with Roger. And you could just listen to interviews and I'll take two of them. Stan Vavrinka obviously from Switzerland, Rodgers doubles partner in the Olympics, not this time but in the previous times, and Raphael the Doubt. In their post match interviews they incorporate Roger's name, so it shows how significant he is to the game. Snow his Labor Cup, which was announced the Wednesday before the Open started, is you just being discussed in the
media room all the time. Europe against the rest of the world in Czechoslovakia Prague next October, and that's a federal run event. His agency with Tony Godsick, is running it. So Federer is somewhere around the numbers of this event right now, even though he's I don't think he's on premises today. Well, I do think personally that he just changed tennis and how people wanted to watch him, and they respected him, and he gave an incredible image at
a very senior level to mentor correctly in tennis. So he's missed. Can you imagine and going to Wimbledon as I have for a Murray Federer match and having the crowd root for Federer. I mean that that is that's almost incredulous. And and let me give you the other example, and that's right here, I believe in oh five when Roddick was playing Federer in the final, Roder went ballistic after saying, this is my country. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska.
I'm the University of Nebraska football fan, and this crowd is for Roger Federer and Tiger Woods, of all people is sitting in Federer's box, which is unbelievable. So what about this year? What do you think in terms of who's gonna who's gonna come out the victor? Well, I picked uh in my bracket challenge uh Andy Murray to wint it. I think he's playing the best tennis right now. Um I would have said forty two minutes ago that Chilich was a strong favorite to wint it. He's good
chance of losing the sock today. And del Potro has far and away the best forehand in tennis, even if Roger was in the game. And in terms of popularity though and revenues, though, do we need to have another Roger? Editor her? And hopefully you know, I mean, I'm not just in Novak, Djokovic or Rapa who's still playing, But do you have to because all these guys are getting older, do we need a youngster like that coming up? And same thing on the women's side, Serena is not gonna
play forever. I think in terms of do we need another Roger Federer, it's really the big four and it was the Big four previously with Lyndell, McEnroe, Borg and Connors and now obviously Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Federer. So it's it's more than Roger. It's it's the fact that he's a part of the big four. So you know, if if it was a Roger isolated in two years with no clear definable number two or number three, I don't think that would do much for the game. Right Well,
how about the women's side, what are you thinking? I'm thinking Serena is gonna win this. I'm thinking there's a lot of pressure that was taken off of her by win in Wimbledon. I think she's got a real chip on her shoulder because of what happened last year against Vinci. I mean, I I don't know how this is gonna sound. I don't think that Vinci won that match. I think Serena lost that match, and I think Serena is gonna winness. I love Madison Keys, who's playing right now. I think
she won the first set. I'm not sure at the score in the second set, but she's a She's going to be a great, great player, and woes Niaki is playing a lot better. I watched her in New Haven some eight days ago, who was in the first day, and I said, she's done. And now it looks like the woes Niaki who was number one in the world for eight weeks at one point in time, little known fact of old. Do you think the Olympics are going to affect Serena at all emotionally or mentally in what way? Well,
she didn't. She didn't really do that. Well, correct, I think that's long behind. Okay, so you know what, I'm a normal person, she's not, so I guess that doesn't affect her. And now I went to her opening press conference and it's it's in like an issue. The Olympics are huge, obviously, uh, but I don't think that's going to impair Serrina's performance. All right, well, just getting started. Richard can't thank you so very much for joining us his uh fetter and a doll one of his books,
Roger Federer back on top as well. There you go, so you see and you can reach o like that, you can. I'm sure you can find his book many places. He's got such a good mind for tennis. Jenny brown Over thanks for joining his partner at d HR International, helping US dive into tennis and the excitement and the business of it as well.
