In this episode, we’re joined by Gemma Beasley, who shares her journey from the corporate world to launching her own recruitment business, Hudson Cooper Search, specializing in construction recruitment.

We’ll explore how she made the leap from the UK to the U.S. market, the unique challenges she faced, and the realities of building a business focused on relationships over transactions. 

Gemma also reveals how moving to 50% retained search has given her a competitive edge—and why increasing her focus on retained search has transformed her business.

If you're curious about building stronger client relationships, creating predictable income, and navigating the competitive world of recruitment—this one’s for you.

We discuss:

• The challenges and opportunities of recruiting in the U.S.
• How to build a business rooted in client relationships
• Adding value by understanding client needs deeply
• The power of community and support in entrepreneurship
• Adapting to an ever-evolving recruitment landscape

Subscribe for more conversations on the future of retained search and how recruiters are redefining success.
