What 35 Years in the Recruitment Business Teaches You


Listen Later

Not having a noticeable fear of failure and 35 years doing the same thing, teaches you an awful lot.

Well, it’s time to share the best bits. 

Quite frankly, I’ve learnt more by working closely with over 100 recruitment company owners than I did building and selling my own two recruitment firms.

One thing I have learnt is that recruitment is easy but business is hard.

By that I mean it’s full of attractive cul-de-sacs.

These are decisions you make believing they are 100% the best way forward, only to find yourself in a dead-end, and having to back out and try again.

These false-starts cost you time and money and too many of them can damage your credibility with your team.

I should know, I think I have made them all, some more than once.

So in our final #MARShow of 2023 I will be looking back over 35 years in recruitment and sharing the lessons I’ve learnt.

Such things as: -

✅ How to be a sticky employer

✅ What to do when you’re overwhelmed, confused and out of your depth

✅ How I very nearly went bankrupt and how to avoid it

✅ What created our stellar growth – zero to £40m in a decade.

✅ How to thrive in a flat market like this one (I‘ve worked through 3 of them).

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be, so this show is 100% about the future not the past.

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learnt in business❓
