November 17, 2025 The Future of Recruiting: Data, Agents & Real Efficiency with Metaview’s CEO Siadhal Magos
AI has exploded across recruitment, but most people still don’t know how to actually use it.
So I sat down with Siadhal, CEO and Founder of Metaview, to unpack where AI is really going, what recruiters are getting wrong, and how data and agents will reshape the work we do.
We talk note-takers, sourcing agents, proprietary data, trust, efficiency, and what the next 12 months will look like for agency and in-house teams.

October 27, 2025 How Firing 60% of Clients Helped Ed Bray Build a $2M US Recruitment Business
When I sat down with Ed Bray, VP of Growth at Orama, he told me why cutting 60% of his clients was the best decision he ever made.
In this episode, we unpack how that bold move transformed Orama’s US business from chaos to clarity, scaling to $2M with a leaner client base, a stronger delivery engine, and a “fewer, better” mindset.
We also dive into Ed’s journey from average biller to operator, his obsession with BD excellence, and what every recruiter can learn from his US playbook.
