How friendly do you get with coworkers? I've recently moved to my city and was considering inviting a few of the other younger people in my office over for a BBQ for July 4th. I'm trying to make some friends and this seemed like a decent way to build a relationship, but is it a bad idea to befriend coworkers?

Do you have work rec leagues?

I don’t think so… to be honest we spend more time with our peers at work than with our own families… it’s only natural that you would befriend some of them… unless you’re the office grump, and nobody likes a grump…

I’d just be careful with divulging your entire life story, be genuine, honest and authentic; but stay away from things that you’re still not comfortable telling your best friend of 20 years, if that makes sense… or politics 😂

Yeah don't want to get too close too quick. But there are some I can genuinely see myself getting along with.

I think I've made some friends at work, but not overly friendly with them.

Just don’t seem weird or awkward

Agency recruitment managers! How do y’all set goals for your department? Do you focus on outreach goals, applicant goals, purely hiring goals no matter the outreach numbers, conversion rates, etc? Asking because I manage two recruiters working with different clients and both work with different styles, so outreach messages for one might not make sense for the other. Any insight would be so helpful!
