My first guest on the podcast is not your typical recruitment leader.
He’s a global operator, a market builder, and one of the most battle-tested scaling specialists in healthcare staffing anywhere in the world.
Meet Alex Hashash.
This is the man who landed in India with a 100-person operation… and within his first month single-handedly ramped another 40–45 recruiters to fuel a complete sales transformation.
And that was just one chapter in a career that helped propel a global medical recruiter to a 900-strong global workforce - making it one of the largest, if not the largest, specialist healthcare recruitment groups on the planet.
Alex’s track record reads like a blueprint for extreme-growth leadership across the most complex markets on earth: Japan. China.
The U.S. and Canada. Mexico. The Philippines. South Africa. Ireland.
If the market is tough, nuanced, underdeveloped or high-pressure… he’s built inside it, led inside it, or scaled it to a level most recruiters will never see.
He’s gone where others hesitate.
Built trust where others see risk.
And turned overlooked regions into high-performance talent ecosystems.
Right now?
He’s on the ground in East Africa, launching new global capability centres in Kenya - while still drawing on war stories from scaling post-Brexit UK, transforming operations across Asia, and reinventing recruitment models throughout the Americas.
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t a LinkedIn thought piece.
This is someone who has done the reps, lived the markets, embraced the culture, and built playbooks tested under real global pressure.
So if you want to know what it really takes to build a world-class recruitment machine at hyperscale…how to win trust in markets most leaders avoid…and why the next decade of talent will come from places your board hasn’t even put on the whiteboard yet…
Then buckle up.
Because Alex is here - and he’s about to redefine what global recruitment leadership actually looks like.
