Claire Myers Vitale had all the makings of a successful recruitment leader—strong team, solid reputation, steady flow of jobs. But behind the scenes, things weren’t adding up. Inconsistent revenue, mounting pressure, and a lack of systems left her stretched thin and questioning how to move forward. That’s when Claire made a bold decision that changed everything. In just four months, she turned her business around—not by working harder, but by thinking and leading differently.

In this episode of The Recruitment CEO’s Insider Guide, Claire shares what really made the difference—no fluff, no hype, just real strategies that worked. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the business, unsure when the next good month will arrive, this conversation will strike a chord. Claire opens up about the shift that helped her hit revenue targets, re-energise her team, and start operating as a true CEO. You’ll hear how she reduced her workload, increased her fees, and created consistency without constant firefighting.

"I just felt like I was digging myself into this financial hole because I did not wanna go through team changes again or anything like that. So I just felt like I just could not get out of this hole, and it created so much anxiety and so much exhaustion." — Claire Myers Vitale
