We pretty much only hire out of university if we can. It's something that I actually have lots of arguments with, with. I'm sure. Exec. That doesn't sound like it. My exec was always like the CRO was always, oh, we we should we need some more senior people. I was like, no. Patience. Oh, sorry. So you mean, like, you hire very junior people from the back office? Hire the junior. So you essentially have a cycle of someone leaves at the top, everyone moves up, and then you hire at the bottom. Okay. So you you actually even sort of of you've actually come to realize you wanna you wanna train up from a very early agent career rather than have bad habits built in up too late. Yeah. Yeah. Because, well, I mean, there's a bunch of re there's practical reasons for that. It's much cheaper to get someone who, like, the top one percent is the well, this is just getting into kind of recruitment now, but the Yeah. Price, the salary difference between the best graduate and the worst graduate is much smaller than the salary difference between the best head of and the small head of, and the worst head of in in a market. So if you're really fighting over talent, you wanna fight early if you're if you don't have the biggest budget in town. But it also means you you can train people to work the way that you want. And, and it also means people know that they're gonna get promoted because they know that you work that way.
