Cubicle to CEO

294. The Employee Ownership Model That Scaled This Agency from Startup to $200M Revenue in 5 Years


Listen Later

What happens when you give employees a stake in the company, pair them with AI tools, and train them to think like entrepreneurs? In doing this, Heidi Golledge, founder and CEO of Jobot, built a $200 million recruiting powerhouse in just five years.


A three-time EY Entrepreneur of the Year and the visionary behind multiple successful exits—including one topping $100 million—Heidi scaled Jobot using a three-part strategy: an employee ownership model, AI-powered productivity, and leadership development rooted in accountability.


The results? Recruiters increased their billings by 50% year-over-year. Productivity jumped 40% thanks to their proprietary AI, Jax. And teams hit performance goals 25% faster—all while allowing employees to earn up to $1 million annually.


In this episode, you’ll learn how Jobot’s culture of kindness, respect, innovation, and ownership became its biggest growth lever—and how you can apply the same playbook to scale smarter.
