    • What is the most impressive business I've built?

      'What's the most iimpressive business you've set up?'  Is something I get asked a lot. 


      But it's not a simple question to answer. Success means different things to different people and will vary greatly according to your business's aims. Understanding what makes your business a success requires you to know what you want out of it before you set it up. 


      In this Podcast, I look at some of the ways that you can define success in your startup. You can watch a video version of this podcast on my YouTube channel.

    • Interview with Topbillers Toolkit

      I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Sam and Ben Miller of Topbillers Toolkit about how I used my experience of successfully growing my own recruitment businesses to help other recruiters set up… and, crucially, how to actually be happy in the process of doing it!  


      Apart from looking at how to make a lot of money along the way, we also discussed what the average recruiter needs to do to make their business a success, what it takes to build a profitable business that’s attractive to investors, and why, if you build it right, you probably won’t want to sell it anyway!

    • How to scale a recruitment business

      Everyone wants to scale their business. But can a recruitment business actually scale? Well, I'm not convinced it can in the traditional sense that, say, a software developer can.

    • When is the right time to set up in business

      Many of people I talk to about setting up a recruitment business don’t go through with it in the first 12 months. Why? 

      Most say they didn’t feel that the time was right. But what actually is the right time to set up a new recruitment business? 

      There are many things to consider before deciding if it’s the right time – there are the more obvious factors such as the economy, trends in your sector, even your personal support network. In this podcast where I look at some of these factors in more detail.
