What happens when a burnt-out recruiter working through family holidays transforms her entire business model in just 90 days? Meet Matilda Keywood, a computer science graduate from Gibraltar who went from earning £100K whilst drowning in overwhelm to building a £300K-£500K pipeline alongside a strategic business partner. Her journey from imposter syndrome to confidently owning client meetings reveals a completely different approach to scaling a recruitment business. This isn't another "work harder" success story—it's about working smarter, finding your flow state, and redefining what it means to be valuable in the market. Matilda's transformation touches on everything from relationship breakdowns caused by work stress to discovering a business development strategy with 100% placement success.

In this episode, you'll:

• Discover the delete-automate-delegate framework that freed up 20+ hours per week whilst tripling revenue potential

• Learn how shifting from "specialist" positioning to "technical solution provider" eliminated imposter syndrome and unlocked higher-value conversations

• Understand why the fifth follow-up message is where recruitment gold lives (and why most recruiters give up far too early)

• Explore the strategic partnership model that created a scalable business without sacrificing control or splitting profits unfairly

• Uncover the ROCKIT approach to marketing CVs that achieved six placements from six attempts—with zero trial and error

Matilda's story challenges everything you think you know about building a successful recruitment business. From working through panic attacks to confidently walking away from the wrong clients, her 90-day transformation proves that sustainable growth doesn't require sacrificing your personal life or mental health. Her insights on finding your unique abilities, building systems that actually work, and creating the confidence to hold your fees will resonate with any recruitment business owner feeling trapped in the busy-but-broke cycle.

Whether you're a solo recruiter feeling overwhelmed by every aspect of your business or someone considering a strategic partnership, Matilda's practical approach offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional "grind it out" mentality that dominates our industry.
