The Recruiter Room with Ash Bennett

In this episode, Abigail Britnell & I discuss the importance of having support from family & friends before you start your own recruitment business, being strategic with your finances, understanding family sacrifices, being open with family members and teaching young children about the principals of entrepreneurship. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Abbie Britnell from the Investment team at SSG. We spoke about the importance of networking and how connecting with your peers can help your career. 

Robert Kenward is the Director, Founder & Chief Talent Officer at YOU Search & Select. Based in Brighton, this independent recruitment business works exclusively within the Live Event, Experiential & Integrated Communications sector. Its their 3 year anniversary so we spoke the build up to launching, how the business has developed, some real challenges he has faced and some parting advice to any budding recruitment entrepreneurs who are thinking about setting up on their own.

Emma Archer runs a successful lifestyle recruitment business from home in Bristol. We talked about the journey leading up to her launching a niche focused business within the FMCG sector, some real-life challenges and curve balls life throws at us, the importance of having the right support around you when the going gets tough but also how much of a positive impact it has had on her life since making the decision to work for herself.
