In episode 7, series 3 of The Authentic Recruiter podcast, Claire Ackers talks to Tracy Fletcher, Managing Director of Campbell & Fletcher.

In this candid chat, Tracy tells Claire how a 20 year career in banking led to an epiphany that she should launch a recruitment company. 15 years on, this has led to some incredible lessons and opportunities for her, and is a must-listen for any recruiter who needs a bit of inspiration about what is possible with their recruitment business.

They cover:
  • Why she believes wholeheartedly in women supporting women, and how she puts her money where her mouth is on this topic
  • How a spot of flatulence kickstarted her whole career
  • The Imposter Syndrome she still struggles with today
  • The golden thread of integrity that runs through everything she does
  • Why she refuses to engage in candidate ownership debates (and the results that's led to for her)
  • Her advice to recruiters who wish to thrive during the coming economic storm
  • Her recent appointment to the Board of the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, where she gets to create change for women in the workplace, such as menopause support
  • Tracy mentions Smartworks, where she's a trustee. They provide interview support for women - coaching and clothing and are proud that 72% of women they help get a job within 1 month. You can find out more about Smartworks here.
