Ep 241 - 3 Deals Fell Over in a Week! Here’s How I Bounced Back
I’ve just had three deals fall over in a single week! Two with signed contracts ready to go, and another candidate pulling out last minute.
That’s around $70k gone overnight. Brutal. But this is real-life recruiting, and I want to show you exactly how I handle it when things go sideways.
In this ep, I share my personal playbook for bouncing back when placements collapse:
👉 How I reset with clients and rebuild trust quickly
👉 Why a fall-through crystallises the brief and sets a higher bar
👉 The steps I take to refill lost roles in two weeks or less
👉 Why replacing a fallen deal is often faster than starting fresh
👉 How I compartmentalise the loss and keep momentum on my desk
👉 Why sharing the “shit stories” matters as much as the wins
If you’ve ever had placements collapse at the last minute, this one’s for you!
