  • #17 - The Rec Expo

    So we're back... We've returned from the two big events that have taken over our lives recently!


    Andy's Sister got married, and we then hit up the Recruitment Expo in London.


    It's unusual for us to get out so much, and unfortunately, it didn't all go to plan.


    We've had a broken-down car, an issue with the kitchen sink and a surprise visit to Birmingham.

    - Should Andy get an Ice Bath on his balcony

    - My brother's anti-chafe pants

    - When are you too old to stop selling Ibiza rocks holidays?

    We've got two big recruitment events coming up in the next couple of weeks and now that Samwise has got his hands on a new machine he's been moving at the speed of light ticking away at the next upcoming Giig feature.

  • #13 - Saeed Bor - EmbeddedOps

    Saeed Bor from EmbeddedOps joins us on the pod this week,


    I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed recording it.


    Saeed operates as a consultant in the recruitment sector helping recruitment agencies to grow through optimising their processes and RecTech stack.


    Initially, that's what we were supposed to chat about.


    However, that got very quickly sidetracked and somehow we ended up following his story from his early years in West London through to how he launched EmbeddedOps.


    There are some great stories in this week's episode, including how Saeed's Friday nights in Oceanana landed him a job in recruitment.


    I hope you enjoy x
