  • Ep 176 - The Jamie Oliver Approach: Why making a mess leads to success

    Messy desks lead to big results!


    If you've ever watched Jamie Oliver cook, you'll notice he makes a huge mess in the kitchen while making a delicious meal. The analogy can be applied to recruitment... sometimes to get results, recruiters need to make a big mess and clean it up later.

    This ep shows you how to “make a mess” for big results by focusing on:
    👉 High engagement with clients and candidates
    👉 Taking big action
    👉 Building a strategy afterwards

    Try these tactics and you will get results.

    There are 3 types of underperforming recruiters and this ep provides actionable strategies to turn their performance around and make more money!


    Whether you're a struggling recruiter or a staff member is underperforming, you should identify if it's:
    1. Market factors
    2. Scattered focus 
    OR
    3. Tunnel vision

    Once this is clear you can create a plan for optimal success.

  • Ep 172 - Recruiters need to prescribe like a doctor for ultimate deal control

    Why do I think recruiters should prescribe like doctors? Because a good recruiter listens to candidate concerns and offers personalised career solutions. 

    Candidates come to us at a crossroads in their career, they're unhappy in their current role or they're wanting to take the next step in their career. I think there is a missed opportunity when recruiters brush over explaining the process and don't prescribe a personalised solution.

    Thi ep is going to highlight how to:

    👉 Offer clear, tailored advice
    👉 Strengthen candidate relationships
    👉 Boost placement success
    👉 Minimise counter offers

    Have the mentality that you are prescribing a solution for candidates' careers and you will improve your results!
