We’re flipping the script this week.

We’re diving into Declan Kluver and Blended Employment’s history. 
Confessing and sharing details never before heard on the show, Declan revisits his first business, Blended Juices, tells stories of his unorthodox door-knocking strategies, the early dark-days of Blended Employment, and how he was ultimately featured on Sky News + The Courier Mail.

For anybody that only listens, it’s worth checking out this week’s episode on YouTube for the treasure trove of content we share.

Lee Pollard is the man of the hour this week on #Confessions! 🎙

Honest, humble, and in it all for the right reasons, Lee’s positive energy is infectious! After nearly 20 years in sales, Lee started his agency, P&C Partners, back in 2019 & has grown it to a highly effective team of 4. 
From some out-of-the-box BD strategies, how selling cars had him thinking he had the Midas touch, to the humbling experience of starting a business, Lee wasn’t afraid to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. 
As a leader with plenty of values, it was great getting to know how he instills these into his team, and ultimately what makes him tick. 

Confessions has also received its first official sponsorship! Check out the full episode to find out what it is!

This week we’re joined by our first recruiter that recruits recruiters!!!

Gemma Valentine is the Director of Shine Resourcing, a Rec2Rec agency that has been in business for over 9 years! 

As the first Rec2Rec’er on Confessions, we had to find out what recruiters on that side of the coin are looking for. Gemma fills us in with her experience dealing with recruiters looking for new agencies, traits she looks for in a recruiter, and why recruiters want to look for new opportunities. It was very interesting to get an inside scoop on things like agency work environments & general commission structures agencies offer.
