Episode Summary

Most recruitment founders are stuck on a hamster wheel—working harder, not smarter.

In this episode of the Digital Recruiter Podcast, Clark Wilcox sits down with Belinda Kerr, founder of Recruitment Garage and host of The Tech Savvy Recruiter Podcast, to break down why so many agency owners struggle to scale. With two successful exits under her belt, Belinda shares the biggest mistakes she sees recruiting founders make—like hiring too late, overcomplicating growth, and relying on outdated sales tactics.

Belinda and Clark dive into automation vs. human connection, why content marketing is non-negotiable for recruiters today, and how most founders unknowingly sabotage their own success. They talk about the danger of chasing new tech instead of fixing broken processes, the power of 10X thinking, and why a lack of focus—not a lack of leads—is what’s holding most agencies back.

If you’re a recruitment founder trying to break free from the daily grind, this episode is your wake-up call. Belinda doesn’t just talk theory—she shares exactly what it takes to build a business that scales and sells.

How can I grow my business when I’m pushed to the limit? How do I create a predictable income stream? How to scale, automate and market? These are the questions I always get asked by recruitment and search agency owners.

They were the questions I had too...
