- From No CV to £1M+ Invoiced & Winning in Recruitment: Cameron Gioia
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.

About The Elite Billers Club
From the publisher's feed
Ask most recruiters how they got into the industry and you’ll rarely hear “I always planned to.” For many, it was a chance conversation, an unexpected opportunity, or a role that sounded…
interesting enough to try. What’s harder to explain and what The Elite Billers Podcast sets out to explore is what happened next.
Hosted by Yasmin Dimick, a specialist in placing graduates and trainees - be that from a background in the Forces, Sport, Sales, Hospitality, Healthcare etc into the recruitment industry with over a decade of experience helping people take their first steps into the profession, The Elite Billers Podcast is a series of in-depth conversations with some of recruitment’s highest performers. But this isn’t a show about their billings. It isn’t about rankings, revenue, or records. It’s about the people themselves who they are, where they came from, and why they believe the career has suited them so well.
Each guest brings a completely different story. Different starting points. Different industries before recruitment. Different life experiences that, in ways they often didn’t see at the time, turned out to be exactly the right preparation. Yasmin draws those threads out with warmth and curiosity, creating conversations that are as engaging for experienced recruiters as they are for anyone thinking about entering the profession for the first time.
The central idea behind the show is simple and powerful: there is no single background that makes a great recruiter. The guests on this podcast prove that. What they share isn’t a common CV it’s a common spirit. And if you’re someone who has wondered whether a career in recruitment might be for someone like you, you’ll find something in these conversations that speaks directly to that question.
The Elite Billers Podcast is for the curious, the ambitious, and the open-minded. It’s for people who like hearing real stories told honestly. It’s for anyone who has ever sat across from a recruiter and thought, “How did they end up doing this?”
