In this episode, I sit down with Simon Ryan, MD of Chapter Two Health Talent, to unpack what it really takes to move from 18 years of contingent agency recruitment into the world of embedded talent solutions.
We get into the mechanics of the model, the sales process shift, and the honest trade-offs of leaving contingent behind.

April 13 The Commercial Director Edge: Discovery, Sticky Revenue & Selling Beyond the Vacancy with Viki Dowthwaite
In this episode, I sit down with Viki Dowthwaite, Commercial Director at Trinnovo Group, to break down one of the most underutilised roles in recruitment and why the best recruiters in the world will always leave money on the table without someone like her in their corner.
Viki built Trust in Soda's contract desk from 2 people to 15, hitting £70K weekly GP and now she's the person Trinnovo's consultants call when they need to win bigger, stickier deals.
We get into the no-splits philosophy, the four pillars of her role, and the tactical frameworks behind discovery, solution selling, and proactive account management.

March 23 What Actually Happens When Your Recruitment Business Fails with Brooke Cooper (27 Talent)
In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Cooper, founder of 27 Talent, to have one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast for a while.
After building a rec-to-rec business from £0 to over £650K in revenue, Brooke went into Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation in February 2026 with a four-month-old baby at home.
Brooke had the courage to share her whole experience with us.
