Recruitment veteran Yasmin (founder of LowenTalent Rec2Rec) welcomes Cameron Gioia to the Elite Billers Club podcast. Cameron, a construction recruiter in further education with four years’ experience, explains how he entered recruitment impulsively without a CV, pushed for an immediate interview, and started work in Bristol days later. He discusses early influences from call-centre sales, his first deal after two weeks, and achieving £320k billings in his best year with over £1m invoiced mainly in contract. Cameron attributes success to resilience, ADHD, trust-based client relationships, and heavy networking, including regular meetings with heads of construction. He outlines what he hires for in trainees, conversation skills, personality, hunger, sports/military/hospitality backgrounds, office-based learning, long hours, consistency, and honesty and shares his plan to go independent in construction/engineering with goals to work abroad.
